Stupid Anthropology
Stupid Anthropology has birthed from the ashes of The Right Can’t Read. We have leapt from the desiccated skull like a weird zombie Athena to sometimes ask stupid questions, sometimes our stupid ideas, sometimes our stupid screaming into the void. Join Aaron, Robert, and Jonny as we explore whatever diseased questions pop into our collapsing brains. Questions such as: What’s the deal with selling out? Who are the worst people that came on Oprah’s show? What’s the deal with airline food?
We Hate Artists
Here at Stupid Anthropology, we take the stances that other podcasts won't. For example: We hate artists. All of them. Listen to us talk about how much we hate them. Slides here. Music by Daniel Griggs

Israel, Palestine, and You!
Robert, Aaron, and Jonny have a completely reasonable conversation about what's happening in Gaza. While listening, why not do something productive like donate to Medical Aid for Palestinians, UNHCR, or any number of other groups trying to materially improve the conditions of people who are the latest victims of the United States military-industrial complex. Digressions include: Aaron is doing fine Stardew Valley tips We hate media trends! Is no one else tired? Music by Daniel Griggs. Ominous wooshing by the Walrus-Man.

Episode 30: The Gang Reads a Jehova’s Witness Book
Have you ever received a book in the mail that you didn't order and, like a maniac, chose to inflict it on friends instead of throwing it away? Aaron has! Join us as Aaron reads bits of a sadly dull Jehovah's Witness book at Shark and Rachel and the three talk about how disappointed they are. Hey, you can't always have a well-researched episode about culture. You just can't.

Episode 27: Who Casts the Pod Men?
Jonny takes the gang through a DETAILED (and yet not detailed enough) synopsis of the Watchmen novel. We talk through the characterizations a bit and start delving into what it all means, but more of that to come! Music by Daniel Griggs

Episode 26: Podwatchcastmen, Part 1
Long-time listener and first-time caller Jonny Lim takes the gang on the start of their journey through Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons's Watchmen. I, Aaron, would like to reiterate that Welcome Back Kotter is a show that exists and I'm very glad that Jonny backs me up on this.
