# An inspiration!
This Anthro Life has been a big inspiration for my studies over the last two years. Now, I'm stepping into the field hoping to put Anthropology to practice myself and it great to continue listening to these excellent bites of knowledge and insight.

# Engaging and insightful
I love this podcast. It helps keep me engaged with Anthropology in a way that is consumable, insightful, and illuminating. I love starting my day listening in as I learn more about the world around me through an anthropological lens.
My favorite part is the high level overviews of books and research that helps me feel that I am still engaged with anthropology. I can’t recommend this podcast enough!

# Required listening for anthro students
Fantastic dialogue across all topics and substances. Learned more from this podcast than I did during my B.A. years. Makes me want to return to academia for a Masters in Anthropology.

# Love this!
Adam’s fascinating insights into the human condition and our place in the cosmos is amazing. With episodes exploring diverse topics such as the Cryptocurrency Revolution, Happiness according to the Aztecs, and even the role of Emojis as a universal language, it's a thought-provoking journey that consistently offers fresh perspectives​.

# Digestible anthro ♥️
Although I’m an anthropologist myself, I do enjoy it when people make ethnography accessible. I’m really enjoying this series. It’s satisfying my desire for meaty podcast content without being too heady or placing too much demand on my concentration. Perfect for long drives to and from work!

# Fantastic Podcast!
I get excited every time I see there’s a new episode. Interviews are engaging and conversational in ways that no other anthro podcast is. As an anthro undergrad who is trying to figure out my future, this podcast has helped give me a language for talking about my interests. I got my current internship at a major tech company because I learned how to talk about my anthro major (in part through listening this podcast) in applied contexts. I’m really fascinated by issues around the future and meaning of work—which is why I loved the recent ‘The Ghost in the Machine’ in episode. Also definitely recommend this podcast for anyone with a curious mind!

I’ve been working night shift for two years, podcasts like this open my mind and keep me occupied during the dark cold nights. Very good material and some good guests. Host does a great job analyzing every show, making it easier for the every day listener to understand. Cheers and enjoy !

Great podcast! I love the episode on climate finance. It was very accessible and is food for thought! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and research with the public. Two thumbs up!

# Keep it coming!
I'm an anthropologist myself and it's hard to keep up to date with the debates since I'm not in academia. This show is a good way to do just that. Additionally, it matches insightful and sometimes theoretical conversations with contemporary topics in a way that is a breeze to listen to.

# For anthros and non-athros alike!
Anthropology and podcasts - two of my favorite things! Super helpful to have a media for the masses that talks about such important things. Highly recommended for anthropologists and non-anthropologists alike!
July 15, 2017 by Think\_Katrina on Apple Podcasts
# 👏👏👏
Great podcast! Obviously the hosts know what they're talking about and so do the guests. Personally, I've never been too into anthropology, but this show makes me reconsider. Wonderful job!

# Not bad
Not bad, I miss some in-depth analysis but I understand it is designed to be approachable.
June 16, 2017 by Lluisij on Apple Podcasts
# Non Anthropologists
Anthropology in general and this podcast in particular broadens my perspective and understanding of how others are approaching an issue.
June 16, 2017 by yankeezulu on Apple Podcasts
# A very good podcast!
So interesting to hear about the wide range of work. Presented in a way that is accessible. Given the troubled times we find ourselves in, this kind of analysis (in-depth, thoughtful and carefully explained) is worthwhile!

# Are Emojis and Hieroglyphs Universal Language?
Will Emojis be the death of writing? Are emojis modern day hieroglyphs? Is the increased use of emojis in textual conversations a sign of the end of language as we know it? Join us for one of our most popular conversations revisited! Your trusty hosts Ryan and Adam discuss the origin of emojis as well as the importance of actively seeking to understand the hidden biases of language.
What is an Emoji? !
The term emoji originates from the japanese kanjis of “picture word”.   created the emoji in order to develop a way to send pictorial texts  using less data. Japanese phone users were sending pictures to convey  messages, but their phones were unable to handle the large amounts of  data involved in sending pictures, so Kurita created the emoji keyboard  that allowed for standard pictorial characters to be sent for the same  amount of data as a letter.
