The Anthropocene Reviewed

The Anthropocene Reviewed is a podcast hosted by author and YouTube personality John Green in which he reviews different facets of the Anthropocene, the epoch that includes significant human impact on the environment, on a five-star scale. This can include completely artificial products like Diet Dr. Pepper, natural species that have had their fates altered by human influence like the Canada goose, or phenomena that only influence humanity such as Halley's Comet. Episodes are released monthly and typically contain Green reviewing two topics, accompanied by stories on how they have impacted Green's own life.[1][2][3] Green announced that the podcast is being adapted into a book that is set to be published by Dutton Penguin in May 2021, his first nonfiction book.[4]

History

The podcast's first episode was released on January 29, 2018. In a November 2018 interview, Green reflected that The Anthropocene Reviewed was "...an opportunity for me to get back to my roots. With the podcast, I want to pay careful and sustained attention to the world around me, and that’s something I often feel like I don’t do, especially when I’m on the internet."[5] It is produced by WNYC Studios and Complexly.[6]

In June 2019, Roman Mars interviewed Green about his show in an episode of 99% Invisible.[7]

The Lascaux Paintings essay from episode 6 was adapted into an animated visualization by the German YouTube channel Kurzgesagt in May 2020.[8]

On the episode titled "The Anthropocene Reviewed, Reviewed", Green announced he would be taking an indefinite hiatus from the podcast after the episode set to be released on September 24, 2020, in part to work on a new book with the same title.[9]
