Love this podcast, Ben & Laurie are great and now with the addition of Taryn they are even more funny, informative and a great listen.
Also the adverts are hysterical and strangely soothing.
Ben and Laurie are great hosts and find some really interesting stories about the latest discovery’s. Funny, detailed and accessible as well as an ace theme tune!
I really like this podcast - Ben and Laurie find the most fascinating news and research on interesting ancient archaeological happenings then tell you all about it! Funny, informative and clever. With great chat between them this podcast rolls along beautifully and always entertains.
This is great work. So glad to hear you again Laurie!
