Buried beneath a short, unobtrusive name there lies an expertly-crafted pre-history and archaeology podcast. Host Andy Earnshaw weaves evocative, imaginative storytelling with lucid, and often amusing explanations of the multiplicity of forces that influenced the lives of ancient people and the equally complex techniques that allow archaeologists to interpret what they left behind. He makes the case for version he finds most convincing, but also presents the other possibilities. It's thought-provoking, beautifully paced, and provides a vivid insight how our ancestors lived and what they can teach us about what it means to be human.
