And just because it's that time of year, I held my nose and dived back into the bad place myself to rescue one of my favourite threads: the original Pictish Vision of Hell: A Halloween Thread twitter-thread.com/t/1057601508...

Podcasts are factual but also entertainment, you have to really like the host and take a journey with them. Most archaeopodcasters are students or lecturers, and stick to the episode topic without, I dunno, being very funny or talking about other things but from the perspective of an archaeologist.

I'm unlikely to seek out archaeology podcasts for fun, but I can recommend two very cozy shows, And My Trowel (fantasy and archaeology!) and Tea Break Archaeology. Also into Amplify Archaeology and the Medieval Irish History pod. But I've given up on many more, and lots of others have gone silent.
