Listen to Manaeha and Matt and their interview with Dr. Alex Blanchette, a Professor in the department of anthropology at Tufts University, who got his PhD at UChicago. His book Porkopolis: American Animality, Standardized Life is an ethnography of work within some of the world's largest meat corporations. Big thank you to Dr. Blanchette for giving his time and sharing some of his personal experiences regarding his research into American factory farms. They talk about manure lagoons, concentrated feed lots, and hopefully this episode starts a much needed conversation about what workers as well as animals endure in and surrounding industrial farms in the US.
