the anthrotographer

‘the anthrotographer’ is a pod interested in studying the human condition and creating new media inspired by what's learned. We enjoy discussing weighty themes in films, books, history, current events or whatever the hell else interests us. With some educational background in both Anthropology & Video Production (plus amateur independent researching) hopefully what is created both provokes thought and is informed. anthrotographer.substack.com

    14 - Luigi & Health Insurance Evils

    On this episode of the anthrotographer, a few weeks after the notorious killing of a health insurance CEO that sparked nationwide conversations, it was time to have my own. I invited a friend of mine (that will remain anonymous) who works in the health insurance industry to discuss his views on life within the system and how he sees the assassin Luigi Mangione. We have a great conversation about the cultural significance of Luigi’s support and disdain, the inner workings of the bloody industry that is health insurance, and why profit is valued over human life.

    13 - Election '24 Aftermath (feat. theblackjacobin)

    On this episode of the anthrotographer, a week or so after the election of Donald J. Trump for president, I discuss the fallout and retrospective points with my friend Geo (aka. theblackjacobin). What will Trump’s presidency look like? How big of a failure was this from the Democrats? And what does American Fascism look like?Links: (Guest) theblackjacobin_ & PeoplePodium (Website) anthrotographer.com (Substack) the anthrotographer (X) @anthrotographer (Instagram) @thee.anthrotographer (YouTube) the anthrotographer Music: 'Red Pleanes' by Half Church This is a public episode.

    12 - Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Session #2

    On this episode of the anthrotographer we continue to breakdown the classic 1968 book Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire. We start halfway into chapter 1 and finish out the chapter in this episode. The next episode or two will focus on chapter 2. This will be a multiple episode series, made way better with voice over work by the lovely Nicole. Freire's book dives deep into the power dynamics of the modern world, where we have an 'oppressor' class and an 'oppressed' class. He analyzes the psychology that breeds this relationship and the educational system that is bedrock of it, while presenting a more humanizing and revolutionary education model.

    10 - Ranting about the World!

    I’ve been frustrated about different political happenings and trends so this turned into a bit of a rant at times. I jump from one idea to another pretty quickly (partly due to some editing decisions as well), but hopefully it’s a cohesive listen. Here are the list of topics: (1:00) power of conversation, (3:30) the sadism of oppressors, (5:40) stress associated with relationships, (10:30) Palestine/Israel: they are justifying genocide, (15:13) debunking Kamala, Trump & the media’s lies, (26:45) Israel’s pager attack on Lebanon, (29:15) U.S./Israel breaking laws of war, (30:45) American Nazism, (36:00) what is democracy, and its connection to sustainability, (45:00) Indigenous wisdom.
