About This Podcast

Salon B is an aural gathering of scholars across disciplines, hosted by Berghahn Books—an award-winning academic press. Historically, salons followed Horace's aim of poetry "either to inform or delight," and we hope to do both as we bring you a gathering of academics and writers from a wide range of disciplines to discuss their work, read extracts, and talk about academic life, all tied to a different monthly theme.
