On today's show we talk with ArchaeoGaming pioneer and expert, Andrew Reinhard. We find out what archaeogaming is and why it's important to the public. It's not just about the ethics of archaeology as represented in games, but, the games themselves.

On today's show we talk to Dr. Geoff Smith of the University of Nevada, Reno about a paper he co-authored in a recent issue of American Antiquity. It's all about dating sandals from a famous cave in northern Nevada, Last Supper Cave, and what they can tell us about the last 11,000 years of history and occupation in that area.

I today's show we talk to Dr. Jonathan Marks about his latest publication, "Is Science Racist?". If science is racist, what can we do as citizens and scientists to combat that ideology? What can we do to rid science of it's racism? It's a complicated problem and we hope this starts some conversations.

On today's show April and Chris interview the author of a staple in many anthropology classes, "Life in the Pueblo" by Kathryn Kamp. This is a foundational book for many people and we talk about her motivation behind writing it and what's changed over the years. We also talk about children in the archaeological record and about how they aren't thought about enough when doing analysis.
