Mediocre Archaeology News Pod

“Before I begin, I’ll caveat by saying that I only listened to the most recent episode. I was trying to expand my horizons in the realm of archaeology, because I’m trying to explore it as a hobby. I’m a history major, so obviously I understand the textual analysis behind events. But I’m interested in expanding into the hobby of actually uncovering historical evidence for the first time in centuries. In all of my finds researching this topic, however, this one is kind of lazy.
They basically Google a few archaeology news articles, provide extremely basic background, and move on to the next topic. My concern is that the approach here is SO basic, that it doesn’t do its due diligence. Example: The most recent episode discusses new finds of Confederate remains in Williamsburg, VA. The hosts go on a ramble about how the archaeological find can make the historical record more complete. Then, when they go to explain the wider context, they just basically go on an anti-war ramble instead of discussing the greater historical situation. It would literally take a 5 minute YouTube search to find a quick overview from the American Battlefield Trust to understand it a little better. The irony about making the historical record more complete while also basically denigrating the historical record is palpable.
Good news podcast. Not much else that’s good about it though.”

“It is so good to have a good voice on a podcast and these 2 have such voices. They interact well and share neat information.”
