    A+ homerun podcast
    Very smart but down-to-earth co-hosts. Seriously amazing guests. One of the only podcasts whose archives I even find worth going back and listening to, it’s that good. Up there w Entitled Opinions as an all-time great podcast.

    This podcast series important, and appears to be a new take on the place of humanity in it's own history - placing our circumstance in a great historical context than I've seen elsewhere. This is really excellent content.

    Quality content, frequent updates, important issues. One of the podcasts I listen to most frequently while on the bus to work. Keep up the good work!
  • TulipheadtheBibliophile
    I came for the poison, fire and space noise
    While certain topics were more appealing (see above) to my somewhat dastardly nature it didn't take long before I became enchanted with the podcast as a whole. Keep it up!(bingeing on episodes as we speak so hope more will be up soon)
  • liamchan83
    Quickly becoming my favorite podcast
    Enjoyable and informative discussions from Stanford's earth sciences department plus the great guests they bring on. I look forward to these podcasts more than the npr and technology podcasts I follow.
  • Shan7364839
    Diligently researched, excellent composition.
    Love this show, so many favorite episodes, I can't chooses just one.
  • Kateo123abc
    Fascinating, high-quality episodes
    I've listened to several episodes and each one has been full of fascinating content that was produced and presented in a way that made it easy and fun to listen to. In particular, the Sounds of Space episode was one of the coolest things I've heard all year!
  • Sharataka
    This is an awesome podcast
    Super mind blowing and interesting to listen to!
  • Just A Lay Cook
    Coffee with a side of SCIENCE!
    I take my morning coffee with a side of Gen. Anthro. It's the perfect serving size of science to start your day. Not only does this podcast feature conversations with profound thinkers, the producers--particularly the incomparable Miles Traer--approach these complex topics from delightfully imaginative and unexpected angles. If you're missing this, you're missing out.
  • Love-Tennis
    Storytelling, science, and perspective
    Perfect podcast to seem smarter to friends and coworkers! They make current science topics totally approachable with a blend of history and current events all mixed together. GenAnthro hosts do a great job of finding incredible people to interview and fascinating stories too tell, with a "so what" that really makes you think. Not just another interview show - they do a great job of crafting a story and explaining cutting edge science for everyone.
  • Clabsforglobes
    One of my favourites
    Generation Anthropocene is one of my favourite podcasts around, becuase it forces me to think differently about the world and the planet, and the past/present/future.
  • Scoutjess
    Most interesting class ever!
    I absolutely love this podcast! So many topics but all brought to you with a lot of excitement, energy and information. It's like taking a 20 to 45 minute class and learning tons about our earth, etc. There's certainly something here for everyone.
  • JessssssAnderson
    Fantastic
    I love this podcast! The topics are always super informative in a really fun way. I love all the hosts- they constantly keep me captivated. :-) Also, I could listen to Miles Traer talk about paint drying. Keep it up guys!
  • Ramandez
    Get this in your mix!
    Generation Anthropocene is just terrific -- it's interesting, thought-provoking, fun, insightful, varied. No science or enviro podcast collection would be compelte without out it.
  • thunderluv17
    Thank you!

  • Meagplant
    Great podcast
    Diverse interesting topics and great interviews. I always come away with some new understanding about geology, culture, humanity or biology
  • Lore_Nick
    Deep thoughts on our future on the planet
    Gen Anthro consistently makes me go "huh, wow!" and "really? Cool!" Every episode takes a fresh look at what it means to be human today on a changing planet. The topic is so central, the interviews so fascinating, and the hosts so curious and charismatic, that I can't wait for each new episodes. Definitely one of the most informative, fascinating, and awe-inspiring podcasts out there. If you want to understand the world and where it's headed, this is the place to come and settle in for some blow-your-mind intelligence.
  • Srkaviar
    Excellent and important
    Generation Anthropocene never fails to intrigue and inform. I love the guest speakers and buy their books to continue learning about their fascinating fields of study. I recommend this podcast to everyone. It's not just well done and interesting, the topics are vital to our understanding of our effect on Earth.

  • Chicagoan328
    Educational AND fun!
    I studied environmental science in grad school and since graduation, I've been looking for a way to stay connected to a wide range of timely and relevant environmental issues. Gen Anthro fits the bill - it's educational, informative, and fun to listen to. The hosts take complex topics and break them down in a way that's easy to understand. I can't recommend the podcast enough, for both the academic and non-academic audience.

    Generation Anthropocene is a great podcast that not only produced solid content but also consistently experiments with story ideas and structure. Each piece is deeply researched, thoughtfullly structured and produced with an eye to detail. These guys are going places!
  • hello!!!!?
    Informative and Interesting!
    Generation Anthropocene brings a unique perspective to environmental topics. Instead of a stodgy science podcast, or a depressing overview of environmental changes, Generation Anthropocene has a creative storytelling approach. Great for learning new about new topics and for getting a new perspective.

    Highly recommended
    This is a well-researched and lively podcast that keeps coming out with something different every week. It’s another one of those NPR-like science podcasts, but without the stuffiness and arrogance often found in the others. I look forward to each episode. Highly recommended.
