Neil is one of the best hosts I’ve ever heard. His questions are intuitive - most often I have the same ones! - and he’s a respectful listener, good at probing what’s left unsaid. The topics are intriguing, guests are knowledgeable about all aspects of the story they’re telling, and I’m usually left with yet another site to visit or book to read :) Many thanks, Neil & team!

I’m an archaeologist who studies 16th century Ireland onwards and am grateful fir this show. The breadth of interest and era is important as so often the medieval period and earlier is explored. Please lend Jackman’s pod an ear if you’re seeking a historically and methodologically orientated series. It’s a great resource to get engaged in Irish archaeology.
Fascinating discussions

I’m not an archeologist but I am interested in the places and subjects discussed on this podcast. After listening to one of these podcasts I’m motivated to learn more on the subject and visit the places discussed. The host, Neil Jackman, know the subjects discussed and knows how to lead discussions with the other experts. Listening to these podcasts is time well spent.
