Season 2 Episode 3: Dealings with Death
We are back! The fact of the matter is… you can’t talk about people (and certainly not about archaeology) without talking about death. Lulu, Kelsey and Gill are back after a multi-year hiatus to talk about a big, juicy grief-filled topic, which partially explains them being away from the podcast...

Episode 18: Archaeogaming
Have you ever played a video game and thought: “How accurate is this?”? That is the essence of what we hoped to discuss in this episode, and to do it, we were joined by Gillian’s “gaming” boyfriend, Luke Smith. A more conversational episode than many others, Luke brings his experience with many...

Episode 17: Harvests Throughout History
Our sincerest apologies for the looooong unintended hiatus before the release of this episode. This semester really got the best of us (mostly Gillian) and I dropped the ball on this episode. Very sorry about that! “Peas” forgive us. Hope you still enjoy :) Yes, we took a break, but we’re “bok”...

Episode 14: The Calgarian Adult Sex Industry and “Feminist Killjoys” (Interview with Dr. Kimberly A. Williams)

Episode 10: The History and Archaeology of Beer
It’s summertime, and a lot of us are drinking beer or other cold bevies while sitting *physically distanced* with our friends outside. Wheat has been domesticated for a very long time. Humans have been brewing beer and other fermented beverages for a very long time, as well. But has beer always...

Episode 7: A Conversation on BIPOC Allyship and Racism in Canada
***The point of this is in NO WAY for you to listen to this podcast episode instead of melanated voices. This episode is for people who don’t think there is racism in Canada, don’t understand systemic racism in Canada, or don’t know where to start. If you listen to this episode, you should...

Episode 6: Cracking the Language Code
As a follow-up to our last episode focusing on the history of language, we thought we would release a super short episode to talk about some linguistic achievements! The "Rosetta" (Rashid) Stone and the Behistun Inscription are both examples of deciphering of ancient languages, while the Indus...

Episode 5: The Beginnings of Language
Communication is everything for humans. It’s how we tell people what we want, what we need, that we love them, that we just can’t stand the way they do the dishes (we can’t help it… We’ve been cooped up inside for a long time), so when did speech start? And how? These are the questions the three...

Following up on their first episode, Origin Stories, Gill, Lulu and Kelsey delve into the "origins" of anthropology and archaeology. Where does archaeology start and anthropology end?

Episode 1: Origin Stories
For our very first episode, we want to focus on some firsts in human history. There's a lot, so we just chose a couple. Who was the “first” modern human ancestor? What about the first technology - stone tools? And with those human ancestors, what did the beginning of farming look like, and what…
