Description

This week, our guest is Raksha Dave, who is currently the President of the Council of British Archaeology. She also used to be on Time Team and has excavated sites all over the world... not a bad CV. In this episode, Joe and Tom ask questions about Tutunkhamun, digging up carparks, 'garbology' and what to do if you find a rare artefact in your garden. Joe is also disappointed to learn that the lost city of Atlantis probably never existed.

You can pre-order Raksha's book 'Lessons From Our Ancestors' here: https://www.waterstones.com/book/lessons-from-our-ancestors/raksha-dave/kimberlie-clinthorne-wong/9781913520946

Joe Marler used to hate people, but then he met Tom Fordyce, and a load of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and a podcast was born that changed his mind forever. It might just change your life too.   Because everyone is interesting if you ask the right questions. And this is a show about all the weird and wonderful things people do.   Together, Joe and Tom meet astronauts, teachers, marine biologists, cheesemakers, prison guards and everyone in between. Along the way, they’ve learned things that have blown their minds, heard stories that have made them laugh until it hurts, and – well, felt a whole lot better about the world around them and the people that fill it.   To be on the show, fill in this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rfSo3PVJgtBRZHCCAZndem-iyy2EdvGcEYDqycsM2aQ/viewform?ts=62602129&edit_requested=true To come and watch the show be recorded live at London’s iconic Clapham Grand, click here: https://linktr.ee/thingspeopledopod   Hit follow, and tell a friend to #growtheshow.
