Speaking to the Public at the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) Meetings: Me, Flint Dibble, Milo Rossi (Miniminuteman), and More! - Pseudo 162

So I went to the annual Society for American Archaeology meetings in Denver weekend before last. I presented on my archaeology work on the Maya cenotes in Belize, but I also spent lots of time listening to (and assisting with) presentations on how to present archaeology to the public. What I learned: some people absolutely understand how to present archaeology to the public, and some people have no clue. Tune in to figure out who’s who! Special Bonus: Count how many times I accidentally refer to Milo Rossi as Stefan Milo!

Encore - Atlantis: Let’s Do This! - Ep 137

Finally, Atlantis in all its glory!!! In this episode, I track the history of the oxymoron otherwise known as “Atlantean thought.” What is the history of Atlantis? Why do we still talk about it today? Where is it? Did Plato just make it up? (Hint - is Star Wars real, or did George Lucas just make it up? You decide…).

The Dead Sea Scrolls - Ep 161

So there I was, minding my own business when the Ronald Reagan Library gave me a call and asked me to check out their exhibit on the Dead Sea Scrolls! Did they want me because I am a world-renowned archaeologist, or because I’m an archaeologist who lives only 10 minutes away? Either way, it was great.

The Moana Surfrider: Haunted? - Ep 160

The Moana Surfrider is easily the most haunted hotel in Waikiki. What makes it so haunt-tastic? As we explore this great hotel from 1901, feel free to listen in as I grovel for forgiveness for the crappy sound quality of episode 159.

Live from the Royal Hawaiian! - Ep 159

Some days in life you may find yourself at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikiki Beach. Those are defined as “good days.” While experiencing one of those good days, I thought “why not try and do a “live” podcast using just my phone and the shaky hotel wifi, centered on the history and ghost stories associated with the hotel?” It sounded like a great idea to me - listen in to see if it actually worked!
