Reviews
- Substance is lacking, disappointing
There are so few podcasts out there about anthropology, so admittedly my review comes from a place of disappointment being that this isn't what I was hoping it to be.
This podcast, while one of the few of its kind, has a lot of insider speak. The topics are less about the cultures and people that anthropology studies, and more about the field and its inner workings (which interests me not at all). I find the interviews dull. The substance / storytelling lacking, the introspection stuck in an e... more

Australia7 years ago - Super vulgarisation de l’anthropologie !
Ces doctorants en anthropologie prennent des sujets d’actualité et d’intérêt scientifique pour les discuter et diffuser au public. Les épisodes sont plein d’interviews fascinants, de discussions moins formelles intéressantes et parfois drôles. Le meilleur podcast de vulgarisation de l’anthropologie que je connais !
From a masters student in France, thank you Familiar Strangers for taking the time and energy to spread anthropology into the public domain! If I can make one request: interviews wit... more

France7 years ago - An extra 10 mins would be great!
A fantastic insight into the study of humans that a lot of us would never think about.
It's well worth your time.
Scan though the episodes, you're sure to find a topic that piques your interest. Even if you don't agree with what they say, the new perspective will be thought provoking.
My one complaint ... the episodes should be about 10 minutes longer. Too often a great topic is cut off just when they're hitting their stride.
Apple Podcasts5Curious ConservativeAustralia7 years ago - Refreshing & Thought Provoking
Each episode is filled with vivid discussions and perspectives on different topics affecting society today. The most special part of this podcast - aside from the 4 talented curators - is the folding and exploring of the diverse information into the current Anthropological lens. A must podcast to listen to over and over.
