Keith Kahn-Harris is a London writer and sociologist, widely published in both academic and non-academic circles. Author and co-author of eight books, Harris's work is featured in scholarly articles, essays, videos, and podcasts (see kahn-harris.org).

In this podcast, Keith discusses what prompted him to write about British metal icon Ozzy Osbourne and why traditional publisher Harper North picked it up.

Some other themes Harris has explored are: what it means to be an everyday Jew, what makes language, the insidiousness of denialism, extreme metal music and its influence in Israel, and contemporary youth culture.
