Anthropological

'Tis another day, so another episode of Anthropological is ready to breathe freely and offer some anthropological context to some real life situations.  This week, Kisira and David are joined by Francisco Terrazas, the National Brand Manager for Mezcal Vago, where they discuss Consumerism, Mezcal and Tequila, agave cultivation, and how much we really care about knowing where our favorite products and goods come from.

While you're at it, Season 2 has 5 previous episodes where ALL the tea is spilt.  Go on!  Give it a listen.  Drink some cold brew, have some rosé, put on Real Housewives of Atlanta [mute it] in the background, and give'm a listen.  Cheers to you, and all you do.

On this week's episode of Anthropological, Kisira and David are joined by Vlad Novikov.  Vlad is a Chicago-based Bartender, leader and curator in hospitality spaces, and someone who has no issues asking the tough questions.  This week, we discuss Indulgence, luxurious things, sleeping in, and OPULENCE...she owns EVERYTHING.

This week's tea is spilled through each segment, from the kiki, the interview, and our reflection.  Cheers.

This week, these three discuss Food Media: the goods, the bads, the uglies.  From discussions on who food publications really serve to the landscape of who writes on elements of food, beverage, and culture, this episode is a deep dive into the anthropological theories surrounding our food media.
