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.

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:

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. Links:

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.

On this episode of the anthrotographer I start a long form breakdown of the classic 1968 book Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire. I manage to get through the preface and halfway into chapter 1. This will be a multiple episode series. 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 education model.Links:

On this episode of the anthrotographer I wanted to share some music by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Cho Young-Wuk (1:00m). Part of my review of the famous story by H.G.Wells; 'The Time Machine' (7:25m). This story really made me go on a tangent on what TIME even is (15:00m). Following on that thread I discuss a documentary called 'The End of Time' (24:20m). My review of the new Zendaya movie 'Challengers' (26:00m). Another film review about 'The Death of Stalin' (31:00m). Let me also introduce a special guest, my buddy Santi (40:40m). We sit and talk about some music but also if ART should be seperated from the Artist. Links:

On this episode of the anthrotographer I cover another recent protest that I attended, as well as the latest developments between Israel and Iran. To skip my long winded intro and get to the interviews and sounds of the protest go to (11:30). Listen to what the people at the event had to say. You'll hear from Palestinian Americans, Jewish Americans, and many other concerned people.

And if you can, please support these GoFundMe's and/or other sources that are helping Palestinians survive the ongoing Genocide:
