    Kinkella Visits the USS Hornet - Ep 139

    Kinkella Visits the USS Hornet - Ep 139

    Is the USS Hornet the most haunted ship in America?  No!  How do I know this?  Because my dad said so, and he should know because he worked on it for years!  Also because while there's no such thing as ghosts, tourist dollars are definitely real.

    Atlantis: Let's Do This! - Ep 137

    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…).

    Augustus Le Plongeon: The World's Most Interesting Pseudoarchaeologist - Ep 136

    Augustus Le Plongeon: The World's Most Interesting Pseudoarchaeologist - Ep 136

    Continuing our "Old School Classics" theme here at the Pseudoarchaeology Podcast, today we have the tale of Augustus Le Plongeon, nineteenth century explorer extraordinaire.  His ideas on the Maya were terrible, but his photos of Maya sites were great!  A classic case of great data meets bad interpretation - enjoy!

    The Scopes Monkey Trial - Ep 135

    Staying with our "Old School Classics" theme, this week we enjoy the fine wine that is the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925. We also have the extra added bonuses of a discussion on creationism and a quick review of the 1960 movie Inherit the Wind. What a deal!

Cashficke ,

Great to listen to in the field

I gotta say this show is super entertaining for me. I listen while I survey and commute to and from different projects. Andrew, I enjoyed the little Toyota Land Cruiser moment in one of your episodes. I have an old fj40 that I used to daily drive in high school and undergrad in NM and your story hit home about cruising the desert hit home haha.

Hysterical while bursting those bubbles

This is interesting, humorous, and balanced. I look forward to every release though the host does debunk a lot of fun theories about past cultures!

I'm_A_WHOVIAN ,

Entertaining and informative!

If you have a genuine interest in esoterica and archaeology, I highly recommend this podcast! The new host does a great job of debunking common and harmful, misinformation without insulting anyone’s intelligence. He is very entertaining and down to earth, and he is passionate about archaeology enough to honestly acknowledge its flaws. If I had a professor like him I might’ve finished my degree. “The only thing I know is that I know nothing.” **Edit: He does sometimes insult people’s intelligence. I can’t blame him.
