Is Destroying Archaeology for the Border Wall OK? TAS 329
1w ago00:57:37Tap to summarizeToday we bring you three stories from the news. The first is about an overcrowded cemetery in Colorado and it brings into question other cemeteries that date back over 100 years and the accuracy of records. Next we head to Scotland where a man-made island has been shown to have much more interesting architecture than previously though - and it’s much older than researches believed. Finally, we talk about the archaeology being destroyed by Trump’s border wall with Mexico.

Transcribe →Women for Wolves with Anjali Ranadive - Ethno 36
2w ago01:11:24Tap to summarizeIn this episode of Ethnocynology, David has a deep discussion with Anjali Ranadive. Anjali Ranadive is a wildlife conservationist and founder of Women for Wolves, a California-based nonprofit and wolf-dog sanctuary focused on wolf conservation, rescue, education, and human–wildlife coexistence. Based in El Dorado County, her work bridges conservation, advocacy, policy, and storytelling to protect wolves and reshape how people relate to predators and the natural world. Anjali studied at the University of California, Berkeley, and is currently pursuing her master’s degree in wildlife conservation. She received the Paul Walker Ocean Leadership Award for her work in conservation and serves on the board of Earth Daughters, an Indigenous-led organization focused on women’s empowerment and environmental justice. David asks Anjali about her background and childhood, and how that got her into animals, conservation, and animal science. And then they discuss Anjali’s first wolf-dog rescue, and how that led her to open the sanctuary. And as the episode progresses, they discuss Anjali’s relationship with the Wolf dogs, what ancient people might have thought about wolves, and the current lobbying work she is doing within the California government to pass more legislation to protect wolves.

Transcribe →Reviving a Roman Matrix - EXARC 71
3w ago00:39:59Tap to summarizeWhat if a once shared territory can foster a sense of belonging today and thus can help to heal problems of the present? Geza Frank, our guest in this episode of the EXARC Show, certainly thinks it can. This conviction lies at the heart of his upcoming project to circumnavigate the frontiers of the entire Roman Empire in historic outfit and equipment and by historic means of transport. Host Phoebe Baker talks with Geza, aka Gaius Flavius Constantinus Aeneas Stilicho, about his plans and how he expects a renewed focus on the Roman empire, by creating the largest UNESCO World Heritage site ever, can benefit people who live within the Limes, its former borders. From his unique perspective as a former soldier in a modern army, he also shares some salient insights into what, in his view, truthful reenaction of a Roman entails (and what not).

Transcribe →Dr. John Bellezza on Exploring Pre-Buddhist Tibet and Its Rock Art - Rock Art 164
3w ago00:38:21Tap to summarizeHost Dr. Alan Garfinkel interviews Dr. John Bellezza about his path from traveling in India and Tibet in the 1980s to focusing on Tibetan prehistory, archaeology, cosmology, and rock art, later earning a PhD at the University of Kent based on prior publications. Bellezza stresses learning Tibetan languages and working in the field as Tibet opened to travelers in 1984, then turning to pre-Buddhist traditions often erased or absorbed by Buddhism and long neglected by scholars. He describes discoveries at Lake Namtso, evidence for high-altitude pastoralism and hunting, and key finds in rock art and monuments, including chariots and standing-stone complexes. He previews ongoing rock art volumes and future work on bronze talismans and Old Tibetan texts.

Transcribe →Farming - ADHD 205
3w ago00:39:20Tap to summarizeFarming didn’t just change what we ate—it changed how we lived, thought, and experienced the world. In this episode, we explore the origins of agriculture from the Fertile Crescent and the Natufian transition, through early settlements in Anatolia like Boncuklu Höyük and Çatalhöyük, and the spread of farming into Europe with the Linearbandkeramik culture. Along the way, George ask a deeper question: what did this shift mean for the human nervous system—and for neurodivergent minds? From mobile hunter-gatherer life to structured farming societies, this episode explores how one of the biggest transitions in human history may still shape how we think and feel today.
