Kinkella Visits Sedona Arizona and Gets New Aged - Ep 158

Sedona Arizona is a pretty place. It’s also so full of New Age groups and believers that it puts the mumbo in mumbo jumbo. Is this a good thing, bad thing, or it-doesn’t-matter thing?

Monolith: 2001, 2010, Today and Forever! - Ep 157

Everyone's favorite monolith must be the one from 2001: A Space Odyssey, but did you know that monoliths have been popping up across the world in mysterious and unexplained ways? Taking this one step further, if you are guessing that "mysterious and unexplained" may be secret code words for "fake and easily explainable" then you my friend may be a master of secret codes! PS - We have to do a bit on 2010: The Year We Make Contact because all monoliths must be covered for the sake of science.

The Chupacabra is Coming to Get You! - Ep 156

What the hell is a chupacabra anyway? You've heard the term, but then you thought "Wait. Is that like a Mexican Leprechaun or something?" You may also ask "Hey Kinkella - how is this archaeological in any way?" I actually have answers for all of these questions, but you have to listen to the podcast, because that's how I roll.

From the Jungles of Belize: Beware the Duende! - Ep 154

While some people like Bigfoot and others prefer a good helping of Loch Ness Monster or Chupacabra, the Belizean choice is the Duende.

ENCORE: Kinkella Visits "The Thing" - Ep 98

The Archaeology Podcast Network is taking a break for the holiday season. In the meantime, please enjoy this encore episode. It's a favorite of ours! Happy holidays! Welcome to one of the creepiest nights of my life. Alone on a desert highway one evening in 1998, I decided to pull over into a deserted parking lot. The parking lot belonged to a large storage building which had a huge sign on the front proclaiming that it housed "The Thing." Against my better judgement, I walked in...

I gotta say this show is super entertaining for me. I listen while I survey and commute to and from different projects. Andrew, I enjoyed the little Toyota Land Cruiser moment in one of your episodes. I have an old fj40 that I used to daily drive in high school and undergrad in NM and your story hit home about cruising the desert hit home haha.
Hysterical while bursting those bubbles

This is interesting, humorous, and balanced. I look forward to every release though the host does debunk a lot of fun theories about past cultures!
Entertaining and informative!

If you have a genuine interest in esoterica and archaeology, I highly recommend this podcast! The new host does a great job of debunking common and harmful, misinformation without insulting anyone’s intelligence. He is very entertaining and down to earth, and he is passionate about archaeology enough to honestly acknowledge its flaws. If I had a professor like him I might’ve finished my degree. “The only thing I know is that I know nothing.” **Edit: He does sometimes insult people’s intelligence. I can’t blame him.
Glad it’s back!

Dr. Kinkella is a super fun and engaging host and I think that he is the perfect choice to bring this podcast back. I was very surprised to see the podcast returning and I’m excited to continue listening.
