The ANtarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) collaboration deploys balloonborne interferometric antenna payloads that fly at 37 km above Antarctica. The primary goal is detection of Askaryan emission from cosmogenic neutrinos interacting in the Antarctic ice. In addition, ANITA has proven sensitive to radio signals from extended air showers. Here, we provide a review of the results of previous missions, with a special focus on recent results, and a preview of our upcoming mission.
