A Review of Episode 6 of Graham Hancock's Ancient Apocalypse with Dr. Shane Miller & Dr. Jesse Tune - Ep 136

On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, the three lads are joined by Dr. Jesse Tune and Dr. Shane Miller to review Episode 6 of Graham Hancock's new show: Ancient Apocalypse. Before recording this podcast, the five of us watched the show together, took notes, and immediately recorded this episode. We outline the show's narrative, the sites Graham covers to support the disproven theories he perpetuates, and the "data" used to support Graham's Ice Age civilization. This show wraps up by discussing our thoughts about the show and the implications of Grahamcock's latest attack on science, archaeology, and public interest of the past.

The Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act with Jayne-Leigh Thomas - Ep 134

We start with a conversation about their education and background in Anthropology and how they ended up with a Ph.D. from the University of Edinburgh.

We close out the interview with a critical discussion regarding the upcoming NAGPRA revisions and their potential impact on Indigenous Communities and Tribal NAGPRA officers.

In this episode, Carlton talks with Josh Wolford about his background in anthropology and his work on the relationships between Anishinaabe cosmology and the geologic/climactic events in the upper Great Lakes.

In this episode, Carlton has a solo interview with Ashleigh Thompson, a Tribal Citizen of the Red Lake Ojibwe and Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology at the University of Arizona. The episode begins with Carlton asking about Ashleigh's background in Anthropology: where she went to school, what degrees she obtained, and how her multidisciplinary background has become advantageous in her work. We then dive into a discussion on Indigenous Archaeology and her experiences as an Indigenous scholar in the discipline of Anthropology. Then we round out the episode on Ashleigh's work with the Save History Campaign - an anti-looting and anti-vandalism campaign designed to educate the public on Cultural Resource protection. From their website, here's a quote: "SaveHistory.Org is a collaborative effort of Tribal organizations, archaeologists, federal and state law enforcement, and countless supporters dedicated to ending the theft and destruction of archaeological resources on Tribal and public lands."

The Boyz Catch Up - Ep 131

Honestly, Carlton is writing this episode description the night before the episode releases and he completely forgot most of what we talked about. Generally, the three fill each other in on what they've been up to since September, why the APN went on hiatus in October, how Carlton is handling being a new professor (spoiler alert: he's still considering buying a boat and becoming a "Sea Person"), and the list of guests appearing on the show. This is definitely a laid-back episode with minimal archaeology, but it'll make you chuckle.

Archaeology of Middle Earth - Ep 130

Just a heads-up, this episode was recorded back in September before the APN went on a brief recording hiatus. Chris and Rachel deserved the time off. This episode was recorded after Carlton and David had watched episode 3 of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Since then, the show has wrapped up.

In this episode, Carlton and David try to talk about the archaeology of Middle Earth. But they soon realize that archaeology may be pointless since elves are immortal and are living history tomes. So they review the show, nerd out about Tolkien's Middle Earth, and Carlton discusses the dystopian futurism themes in Lord of the Rings.

Of Mountains, Exploration and Journalism: A Conversation with Matt Stirn - Ep 129

On this episode of A Life In Ruins podcast Connor and David sit down with Matt Stirn, a professional archaeologist, photographer and journalist.

After catching up, the podcast as usual begins with how Matt got into archaeology. And as you might’ve guessed, he’s involved with Wyoming archaeology, and got his start when he was only 13 years old.

Matt ended up doing fieldwork in Colorado with Dr. Richard Adams in Colorado State University doing high altitude archaeology. He also was Connor‘s TA on his field school.

Matt elaborates on his research and the importance of pinenuts two people living at high altitudes in Wyoming, and his masters thesis on predictive modeling regarding pine nuts and high altitude.

We end the show with a conversation about Matt‘s current career and the state of archaeology. Matt took an interesting route becoming a journalist after becoming a scientist, and he discusses how that really benefits what he does now. Matt also gives advice to students looking to do something similar.

The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a bit of a break for October, 2022. In the mean time, we’re introducing you to some of the other fantastic shows that we produce. Here’s an episode from The Pseudo-Archaeology Podcast about the Cerutti Mastodon site.

The 130,000-year-old Cerutti Mastodon site in San Diego is a place where you can definitely find mastodons, but were people there at the same time? It sure doesn’t look like it.

PROMO - Sutton Hoo "Ghost Ship" and The Dig - The Archaeology Show 111

The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a bit of a break for October, 2022. In the mean time, we’re introducing you to some of the other fantastic shows that we produce. Here’s an episode from The Archaeology Show about Sutton Hoo and the Netflix film, “The Dig”.

With the recent release of The Dig, a Netflix film focused on the excavation of the incredible Anglo-Saxon burial ship at Sutton Hoo, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to take a closer look at this site! Sutton Hoo is extremely important and interesting for many reasons and we dive into those as well as review the movie. Did we like it? Join us and find out!

We had so much to talk about that we couldn’t fit it all into the episode. Become an APN member to get access to the rest of the conversation!
