The show “Curse of Oak Island” is now into its 13th season and still going strong(ish)! What’s the deal with this place? Why do they keep digging big holes there? Have they found anything? I’m afraid you already know the answers to all my questions. ... more

I stumbled across this podcast looking for something to bridge conversation over shared interests in the history of humans with someone who’s been sucked in by Hancock in part because of the colonialist mindset of those who have historically dominated archaeology. But the 2025 host painfully pompous in exactly that way (the earlier hosts were far better but terrible sound quality).

Don’t listen to this podcast. Came for the cenotes episode, left after hearing his personal views on transgender people guised behind reductionist science. Byeeeeee loser lol
