Letā€™s Find Amelia Earhart! - Pseudo 146

Itā€™s Amelia Earhart time! What happened on that fateful day of July 2, 1937? Weā€™ve always been pretty sure that Earhart crashed somewhere near Howland Island, but new evidence may make us VERY sure that Earhart crashed somewhere near Howland Island! Unlike most of our stories on this channel, this one actually has some real data that is being analyzed using good scientific protocol. Imagine that!

A kinda true story - Aliens 67

This is the finale of our summer special. The second part of Lucian of Samosata's novel ā€œA True Story.ā€ While the first part is filled with space travels and battles on distant planets, this part will deal with other topics. What was Homer's true nationality, why Pythagoras didnā€™t like his victory meal, and if Herodotus were sent to the Greek version of hell for his accounts?

Lucian of Samosata, a second-century CE author, penned what some consider the first science fiction novel in history, "A True Story." Lucian vividly describes space travel, intergalactic battles, alien beings, and even alien abductions in this short story. However, rather than attempting to write a sci-fi epic, Lucian's work is a satirical critique of contemporary travel books and historical accounts. In this episode, we'll continue to look at Lucian's imaginative narrative and see how it gives us a unique window into the ancient world.

Helena Blavatsky - Pseudo 145

Continuing on with the whole ā€œI listen to my listeners so I am a good personā€ situation, this week Iā€™m covering Helena Blavatsky. Beyond the fact that several of you have asked for this one, I myself have been super curious about Helena Blavatsky, as her name crops up whenever you take a stroll in the Pseudoarchaeology universe. Of course, if your name is ā€œHelena Blavatskyā€ then membership in the occult is required.

SƔmi Land Protection - HeVo 88

2021 Heritage Voices 500k.jpg

On todayā€™s episode, Jessica talks with Tuula Sharma Vassvik (SĆ”mi activist, land protector, musician, podcast host, and freelance contractor in Heritage and Indigenous Methodologies) about their journey through archaeology to Indigenous methodologies and land protection in SĆ”pmi. Tuulaā€™s work focuses on solidarity across cultures and class, as well as community building and future building within Indigenous ways of life. We talk about their time at Standing Rock and how that shaped not only their Masters thesis, but their life trajectory. We also discuss their involvement in protests against wind turbines on reindeer herding areas, the destructive impact of farmed salmon on the coast and coastal SĆ”mi people, as well as topics they have explored with their podcast guests, including Indigenizing queerness. Todayā€™s takeaway: Donā€™t buy farmed salmon from Norway!

A true story - Aliens 66

Audio Block
Double-click here to upload or link to a .mp3. Learn more

In this summer special episode, while traveling and soaking up the sun, I found myself contemplating a different kind of travelā€”space travel. Inspired by the frequent claims made in "Ancient Aliens" that ancient myths and stories are actually describing UFOs and space rockets using the vocabulary of the time, I wanted to explore this concept further. However, I often find these interpretations to be misleading or misrepresentative of the original texts. This sparked an intriguing thought: How would an ancient person genuinely describe space travel?

Enter Lucian of Samosata, a second-century CE author who penned what some consider the first science fiction novel in history, "A True Story." In this short story, Lucian vividly describes space travel, intergalactic battles, alien beings, and even alien abductions. But rather than attempting to write a Sci-Fi epic, Lucian's work is actually a satirical critique of contemporary travel books and historical accounts. In this episode, we'll delve into Lucian's imaginative narrative and see how it gives us a unique window into ancient perceptions of space travel.

Oldest ritual in the world? - TAS 270

First up this week we look at one more reason why Cahokia wasnā€™t all of a sudden abandoned the way researchers had once assumed. Then, excavations at a site in Lake George, NY may (or may not!) shed some light on a 1700ā€™s era Smallpox hospital. And finally, is it possible that a ritual has been passed down 12,000 years? New evidence in Australia suggests it is!
