Our Ruined Lives with Damian Kirkwood - Ep 8

In this episode of A Life In Ruins podcast, our hosts do something different. As opposed to interviewing an archaeologist and asking about their career, the hosts bring on zooarchaeologist Damian Kirkwood, whom they went to school with, and have a casual discussion about all things archaeology.

While the conversation begins with Damian explaining his credentials, the show quickly devolves into discussions about archaeological media representation, including a discussion on Indiana Jones, the Prime Directive, and a salty, yet educated argument against the existence of Bigfoot. we’ve decided to call the segment “Our Ruined Lives”.”

Oh, and don’t worry, we all agree that 10,000 BC is the worst film in cinema history.
