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.

Apple Podcasts5gjppefUnited Statesa month 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.
