Customer Reviews
Terrific
I have an armchair interest in archaelogy and find this pod to be terrific. I find the topics interesting all be it a bit brief; and I like the NEWS format. Laura Kelly is a great presenter although I could do without the intro. If you are interested in checking out a pod on archaeology I would give this one a try. A great program where all the "NEWS is HISTORY".
A Fantastic Archaeology Podcast
This is probably the best podcast for the armchair archaeologist. It is very well written, and provides excellent background summaries of current events and discoveries in archaeology and the studies of human culture. The production is excellent, and Laura Kelly is a talented presenter. I look forward to every edition.
good but...
content is enjoyable
intro is far too long (basically 2 different one)
podcast is far too short
should be double
by the time you get listening its over
