    Kinkella Visits the USS Hornet - Ep 139

    Kinkella Visits the USS Hornet - Ep 139

    Is the USS Hornet the most haunted ship in America?  No!  How do I know this?  Because my dad said so, and he should know because he worked on it for years!  Also because while there's no such thing as ghosts, tourist dollars are definitely real.

    Atlantis: Let's Do This! - Ep 137

    Atlantis: Let's Do This! - Ep 137

    Finally, Atlantis in all its glory!!!  In this episode, I track the history of the oxymoron otherwise known as "Atlantean thought."  What is the history of Atlantis? Why do we still talk about it today?  Where is it?  Did Plato just make it up?  (Hint - is Star Wars real, or did George Lucas just make it up? You decide…).

    Augustus Le Plongeon: The World's Most Interesting Pseudoarchaeologist - Ep 136

    Continuing our "Old School Classics" theme here at the Pseudoarchaeology Podcast, today we have the tale of Augustus Le Plongeon, nineteenth century explorer extraordinaire.  His ideas on the Maya were terrible, but his photos of Maya sites were great!  A classic case of great data meets bad interpretation - enjoy!

    Staying with our "Old School Classics" theme, this week we enjoy the fine wine that is the Scopes Monkey Trial of 1925. We also have the extra added bonuses of a discussion on creationism and a quick review of the 1960 movie Inherit the Wind. What a deal!
