There Are Stupid Questions
There Are Stupid Question is the podcast where I get to ramble weekly about topics I encounter in my daily life. I dive into these stupid questions using a bit of anthropology, often ending up far from where we started--but with a fresh perspective.

Is it still nature if it has a gift shop? That’s today’s stupid question. This episode starts when I hiked at the Grand Canyon a few months ago. We look into the story of Thomas Moran’s painting "Chasm of the Colorado", and its impact on representations of the Canyon in the decades that followed. I hope you’ll enjoy today’s episode, let me know your thoughts. Researched, written, recorded and edited by me.

Today, we look at airports, non-places, and the anthropology of infrastructures. The question for this episode started while I was waiting for my plane at Philadelphia International Airport. It turns out it's more complicated than I thought to answer it.
