I’m learning a lot about the ancient American West. Really enjoyed the cast on the Paleo-Indians, Clovis. Wasn’t really aware of any of this history. Very interesting stuff. Thanks guys, keep up the good work.

No wonder Steve Rinella has taken you onto his team. "Surround yourself with people better than you", and Steve is up there on his story telling and mastery of writing. Thank you for sha... more
Apple Podcasts5gjppefUnited States2 months ago - just give me Dan
Anything that Dan Flores presnts is excellent! I just want a podcast on that, full stop. But there is an insistence on a post podcast interview/ Q&A with Steven Rhinella that is just terrible. It offers NOTHING of value to an episode. I tend to stop most episodes once this q&a starts.
