In this episode, we discuss the evidence for Anglo-Saxon smiths, the people who created the artefacts at Sutton Hoo and other princely burials. To do this we analyse the Neolithic tomb called Wayland's Smithy and the legend associated with its namesa... more
Sutton Hoo is the most spectacular archaeology discovery in British history. We explore what this tells us about the Anglo-Saxons' relationship to themselves, their neighbours and their past.

I am an American archaeologist interested in the archaeology of the UK, although I have no expertise. I visited sites like the Ridgeway, Waylands Smithy, and White Horse Hill in the past and want to visit again and learn more. Andy’s presentations are so well researched, interestingly written, and thought provoking, I sometimes have to listen more than once and even stop my car to fully take it in. Thanks for this exceptional series.
Great pod, always an engaging and well researched topic.
Love this.
This is a terrific podcast with first-rate writing and narration. I’ve enjoyed every episode so far and I’m always looking forward to the next one. My only friendly recommendation is different music. The ‘80s Cassio is sort of shrill and at odds stylistically with the mood of the material.
Excellent work and please keep it coming!
Finding this show gave me context for the living of our times. I love it. The blurb at the end of this week’s episode was a beautiful expression of the one we rely on for this effortful gift. Fortunately I came late to the podcast, so I have lots to catch up on whilst waiting with bells on for the recalibrated show format. Enjoy your renewal Andy!
