Fascinating discussions

I’m not an archeologist but I am interested in the places and subjects discussed on this podcast. After listening to one of these podcasts I’m motivated to learn more on the subject and visit the places discussed. The host, Neil Jackman, know the subjects discussed and knows how to lead discussions with the other experts. Listening to these podcasts is time well spent.

Love the interviews & topics

This show is so well done with interesting interview and topics covering archeology across Ireland and different time periods. The on-site sound recordings are also excellent. I listened all the way back to episode one and now I wait for each new episode to come out.

Great to find podcasts about topics you know nothing about. The subjects, interviewer and educators are top notch.
