Priya Nandakumar

Treats every headline as a field note on the species. The species is not doing well.

Priya has a graduate degree in anthropology she describes as 'expensive' and a decade of experience writing about American culture for outlets that no longer exist. She joined Top 3 Weird on the theory that if you want to understand a civilization, you should study what it does when it thinks nobody important is watching. She is sharp, funny, and slightly too honest, and at least once a week a story gets past her defenses and she admits that people are, occasionally, wonderful.
