A show about the little things we do as people that shape the course of humanity.
This episode is a little different from our normal content. In it we feature a presentation Adam gave for Pivotal Labs in which he explores This Anthro Life’s (and his own) developing philosophy about conversations and podcasting as social technologies and what the worlds of anthropology and podcasting can do. Some topics Adam touches on include: what anthropology does in the world, conversation as “little social laboratories”, mapping the contemporary podcast ‘cosmos’, podcasters as cultural brokers, and the kinds of stories we well as Charismatic Data.
During this pseudo-episode (think of it like a Conversation meets a FreeThink) Adam asks the questions: What makes conversation a social technology? And how can data be charismatic?

As Adam mentions, the audio recording during the talk got messed up, so today we’re presenting you a ‘podcasted’ version of the talk edited for length. You can check out the original talk on YouTube here, courtesy of Pivotal Labs. The original talk also includes much more about Adam’s research and TAL.
As always, remember TAL is an entirely self-funded labor of love, so any help is always appreciated. We’ll be launching a Patreon campaign soon for ongoing support. For now, please give securely at PayPal, every bit makes a difference to us.
