Greyhound racing used to be a thriving industry in the United States, that until Grey2KUSA came around. Now, there is only one state left where it is still alowed. If it depends on our two guests, this will soon be a banned practice all over the world.

April 02 What does geography has to do with the way we see gender?, with Bill Hatcher
Throughout human and non-human history, animal societies with more access to food, water, and better living conditions tended toward matriarchies. On the other side, patriarchal societies were located in regions with harsh conditions, such as deserts and poles.
Bill Hatcher, a professor of Geography and Anthropology in Colorado and author of the book The Red Planet, explains his Gendered Landscapes Theory. Join us in this Lantern Voices episode to discuss geography, anthropology, gender, and archetypes.
