Do we like ANTHropocene, anTHROPocene, or anthroPOcene? Heard all 3 pronunciations in about 2 hours at #AmAnth17 #AmAnth2017

We're working on an episode about #jobs in #Appalachia. How do you make a living? Do you struggle? Do you work multiple jobs to pay your bills? Did you make a career shift? Do you know of a unique way to earn extra cash? We want to hear from you. [email protected]
