Josh is just AI now.
Although Josh Gates bills himself an archaeologist, he does precious little archaeology and never seems to find what he's looking for while making a lot of noise in the attempt. If you're interested in actual archaeology, I suggest Time Team.
Started listening to the most recent episode September 10, and not 1 but 2 consecutive ads before the show even started, IN SPANISH! I don’t speak Spanish and yet I have to suffer through two consecutive commercials before I can even listen to the show? Makes me not even want to listen to the show anymore. Seriously, DO BETTER!!
