1 小时 30 分钟Oh, hi.
It's the French fry under your seat.
You won't find for another four months, Allie Ward.
And here we are, the trashiest episode of oligies ever made.
This is another one of those years in the making interviews.
You're going to talk about it forever.
So I came across this person's name in relation to garbage, and I thought, I must meet this garbage person.
They seem great.
They are a clinical professor at New York University's Liberal Studies Department.
They teach on the topic of garbage.
They have worked intimately with garbage.
They did a TED talk about garbage.
They have three anthropology degrees from Columbia University and an undergrad in anthropology from New York University,
and even authored the book Picking Up on the Streets and Behind the Trucks with the Sanitation Workers of New York City.
The perfect fit.
Rubbish research is their life's work.
So on a crisp fall day in Manhattan, I navigated the cobblestones to a conference room on the NYU City campus.
And as a side note, this episode was recorded in 2022,
but I'm sharing it with you again for Earth Day Month because it's a favorite among the entire oligy staff.
And listeners say that it has impacted them for years.
