We're three friends with careers in three different aspects of archaeology. Higher academia. Cultural resources management. Public outreach, collections, and cultural resources management.

Podcast Focus and Themes

Speaker
Our podcast will consist of three young professionals in the field of anthropology. Interviewing other young professionals in the field. As well as distinguished personalities that are contributing to the larger dialogue of anthropology and other human sciences today. Well, if and when they give us the time of day. We will try to find out why they have chosen a life in ruins or why they have chosen a relevant and useful career path.

We will also have episodes about how anthropology and its subfields have been portrayed in popular culture. Like TV, movies, video games, and in political discourse. You can expect to find a new hour-long episode of our podcast once a month.
