A podcast hosted by ‘Anarchaeologist’ Tristan Boyle covering topics all to do with the past and society’s relation to it
We Are The Decay - Episode 46
Launching what he calls “The Archaeologist’s Manifesto” Tristan is back again (after another hiatus) and will be bringing a propaganda fuelled monthly podcast to your ears. Todays episode focuses on Decay and what that means in modern society – looking at how histories are treated and whether forgetting a history is as bad as damaging it for other ideological reasons.
Tristan’s views do necessarily reflect the views of the network or his friends
