the anthrotographer14 - Luigi & Health Insurance EvilsOn 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.Li...2025-01-271h 01

the anthrotographer2 - Planet of the Humans, Oppenheimer & The JungleIn this recording I start out by talking about the medium of podcasting and how other shows inspired me to get into it. Then I spend the majority of the pod discussing a few powerful films I've seen recently. 'Planet of the Humans' is a documentary about climate change, the effects of human expansion and the dissapointing and doom inducing realities of the "green energy movement". 'Oppenheimer' is another one where I get into the awesome power of the bomb and human fallibility. There is a small music jam session in the middle there.

the anthrotographer1 - Octopus Plants, Intellectual Property, & Manufacturing Consent Pt. 1This was the first episode so I was a bit nervous and novice to the process. I talked about a striking invasive tree that I found in my neighborhood. Then I covered for the majority of the episode Noam Chomsky's documentary called 'Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media'. It is an eye opening film about how we are all under a sort of thought control that benefits an unequal and imperialistic society.
