Please bring back laura Kennedy. The new reader is grating. I love this podcast but can’t listen to the oddly lilting voice
I initially downloaded a bunch of these episodes to listen to while falling asleep, thinking it would be relaxing and undramatic. Instead, each bit of info is so thrilling it’s become a regular daytime listen!
i've listened to this podcast for almost a decade. The only reason I don't give it five stars is because of the continual emphasis on why archaeology is applicable to the present day sensibilities. Archaeology doesn't need this sort of justification.
Always learning something fascinating! Thanks to podcasters!
Great information and podcast length. Fascinating stories about current discoveries.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.

A concise weekly digest of archaeological and historical news presented in an accessible, storytelling style. Episodes mix field updates, methodological notes, and global case studies—from forensic investigations of colonial-era events to prehistory, ancient migrations, and DNA insights—often highlighting how modern tech (GIS, drones, 3D modeling) reshapes our understanding of the past.

Useful for listeners who enjoy clear summaries, cross-regional coverage, and ongoing sc... more
