Michael Osborne is the host of the Generation Anthropocene podcast, a show that—just like ours—started out as a student project at Stanford University. Since the first episode of GenAnthro dropped in 2012, the show has evolved—and Mike has become a well-versed, well-acknowledged audio producer. Drawing from his year-long experience, participants of the IVAC seminar met up with Mike to discuss the chances but also the pitfalls about doing a podcast about the Anthropocene. Is there an alternative to the doom-or-gloom-narratives?

Mike now operates a recording studio in Austin, Texas. He offers great advice for people who want to start a kick-ass podcast. For more info, visit his website.
