    How Flint Dibble Prepared for the Joe Rogan Experience - Ep 262

    A few weeks ago, archaeologist Flint Dibble was invited on to the Joe Rogan Experience to have a dialogue with Graham Hancock. Over the course of the 4 hour show, Flint did a fantastic job engaging and attempting to educate Graham and Joe. This week, APN co-founder Tristan Boyle had an opportunity to interview Flint about how he prepared for the show, and what the reaction has been on the interwebs.

    How Technological Innovation Can Drive Greater Accessibility and Inclusivity in Archaeology - Ep 260

    How Technological Innovation Can Drive Greater Accessibility and Inclusivity in Archaeology - Ep 260

    Archaeology is always seen as a field pursuit and for the most part, it is. However the interpretations of archaeology should be accessible to all. Our guests today, Dr. Alessandro Sebastiani and Dr. Laura Morabito presented their thoughts on accessibility in archaeology at the World Archaeology Summit in AlUla, Saudi Arabia in September 2023. They discuss things like 3D reconstruction and VR as tools to bring people to archaeological sites and research without physically bringing them there.

    Curse Tablets, Ice Skates and the Archaeology of Childhood - Ep 258

    This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories. First up, "curse tablets" were found at a Roman villa in the UK. Then, a 1,000 year old bone ice skate was found at a site in the Czech Republic.

Lane__Q ,

Y’all are just great

I hate reviews, but I really feel the need to say that you two have an excellent podcast and I really do wait for every episode. I am a law student who is a total archaeology/history nerd and you guys are a portion of my periodic fix. The breakdowns are always insightful and accessible. Beyond the subject matter, I love the humor from both of you and your chemistry is really endearing and cozy. You two have a gift in this and I hope you stick with it. Thanks, - Lane

Great potential

It would a great option for the hobby archaeologist, but the ‘banter’ between the hosts makes it nearly unbearable to listen to.

The guy does a better job of staying on track, but the female cohost’s constant giggles and interjections are annoying.

Great potential, poor execution

MessyJThatcher ,

Easy listen

Great information, easy to follow and I personally enjoy the dry humor and banter between the two. Thanks for keeping us informed and entertained.
