Archaeology Podcasts - Episode 46

We've got a bit of a different show for your today. Instead of my regular panelists, I chat with fellow podcasters, Tristan Boyle (Anarchaeologist Podcast) and Jenny McNiven (Struggling Archaeologist's Guide to Getting Dirty). We talk about why we started our podcasts, what niche we think they fill in archaeology, and, podcasting as archaeological outreach.

Sonoma State CRM MA - Episode 45

We start the show with an interview with Dr. Adrian Praetzellis, author of several popular theory books and a professor at Sonoma State in California. This program is fantastic and would be great for anyone wanting a career in CRM.

FACEBOOK and FACEBOOK GROUPS

Our final segment is a discussion about how Facebook groups and pages work. For the record, Doug and Stephen are wrong! But, take a listen and tell me I'm for of it in the comments.

DigVentures and Crowdfunding Archaeology - Episode 44.1

We've got a bonus show for you outside of our regular schedule. For this episode, Doug Rocks-MacQueen plays the host and Chris is a panelist! For the show, we interview the people behind Dig Ventures, a crowd funding and crowd sourcing platform for archaeology and heritage projects. This is a great resource for those that need funding for their projects and, let's face it, who doesn't need funding?

iPhones, Emails, and HCI - Episode 44

On Episode 44 we pack in several conversations. First, Chris talks about the iPhone 6+ and it's use as a field device. We also talk about larger smartphones in general for fieldwork. Then we read three listener emails which include a discussion of prevailing wages and what kind of math is required in graduate school. Finally, we talk about our new education program that Doug, Bill, and I are setting up, Heritage Conservation, Inc. (the name is in flux).

Networking and Leadership - Episode 43

After biking 158 miles for the MS Society in San Francisco and Napa Valley and then spending two days on the coast relaxing, the CRM Archaeology Podcast is ready to go! It's a shorter episode but I hope it was worth the wait.

In the first segment we talk to Katie Turner, a new archaeological field technician that used some great, modern, networking techniques to land her first job and to make a living as an archaeologist more comfortable than one would think. For the last half of the show I cover a listener question about leadership in CRM Archaeology.
