  • Skip. Colonization

    Not worth your time. They are still choosing to benefit off the colonization of the world. This podcast host has consciously chosen to promote colonization and invasion of sovereign countries for scientific gains. This podcaster has recieved reviews related to this issue for several years and still actively decides to showcase science done by people who took lives to collect their data. Science done ontop of dead bodies is not valid science. Period.

  • Too interesting

    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!

  • Why not five

    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.
