Transcript

Lily: 00:00:06

My name is Lily and I'm the host of the podcast Life and Anth.

Lily: 00:00:11

I got into podcasting because I was always a good storyteller and I had a

Lily: 00:00:14

passion for anthropology and wanted to find a way to combine those two interests.

Lily: 00:00:18

And podcasting seemed like a natural avenue, so it was kind of a twist

Lily: 00:00:22

of fate when Zoomcatchers took on that industry, I figured, Hey,

Lily: 00:00:25

I'm already working with them.

Lily: 00:00:26

Why not produce something together?

Lily: 00:00:28

And I couldn't be happier with the results.

Lily: 00:00:30

I'm more convinced now than ever that this was the right decision for me.

About the Podcast

Life & Anth

Join Us In Mystifying The Ordinary!

Beyond the rolling, manicured hills of the college campus that boasts graduating two of the three female Secretaries of State in history, lies a town with its namesake. Welcome to wealthy Wellesley, Massachusetts, where tensions between the college and the townies run high. Today, Lily is joined by guests Sophia and Ali, who both attended the College and worked in the town and offer their insight on the causes and manifestation. This episode defines terms such as positionality, emic and etic, and discusses the nature of purity narratives as they are portrayed through this unique relationship.
