Great Podcast from National Geographic

In my never-ending search for "interesting stuff," I came across this podcast from National Geographic World Talk (URL is: http://podcast.nationalgeographic.com/world-talk/). The 7/28/2006 episode is an interview with Anthropologist Wade Davis who has some really cool things to say about culture and the use of the term around the world. Davis is the author of The Serpent and the Rainbow, which was made into a movie starring Bill Pullman, among other stuff. So you may have heard of him slightly.

I highly recommend that you listen to this one because it's very interesting and has a great point of view on real cultural diversity and sensitivity... particularly the portion on ethnocentrism and how it can affect the attitude of one culture to another. Great stuff.

If you're a podcast listener, give it a shot. If you're not, these (and most) podcasts are free and you can get them easily by using iTunes.
