143 - Gillian Hovell: Gladiators, Neolithic Britain and Bronze Age Culture

Hi Eavesdroppers, this week we are joined by Gillian Hovell, AKA The Muddy Archaeologist. We had a great conversation with Gillian that touched on all sorts of subjects from The Roman Empire to Neolithic Culture with some Bronze Age stuff thrown in for good measure! We could have talked to Gillian for hours on just one of these topics and hope you can appreciate the enthusiasm she brings to the subject and the way she can relate ancient history to our modern society.   Please check out her website, online courses and lectures, plus tonnes of other useful information here.... http://www.muddyarchaeologist.co.uk/ You can also find her facebook group here... https://www.facebook.com/MuddyArchaeologist/   During the post-match debrief we went over some of the sillier news stories of the week (and some serious ones).   Mallen's YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I66FdRQ99Ks&t=138s Other news sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F2i0wDCfug&list=PLjW0q-t8-qM7faOIX0Pcd5nL0RhOIiqy_&index=6&t=46s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F2i0wDCfug&list=PLjW0q-t8-qM7faOIX0Pcd5nL0RhOIiqy_&index=6&t=46s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xe62iJb-tIk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF752acTijY   Producer Credits for episode 143: Gav Scott, Rob Golfmate, Joey Insta, Midnight Turtle and Anonymous.   Message us here....follow, like, subscribe and share.
