🎙️ The Shindig: A Special Interview with Colm Moloney

In this special edition of The Shindig, host Luke Barry sits down with Colum Moloney, founder of Rubicon Archaeology, to celebrate the company’s 25th anniversary. Thought lost to a corrupted hard drive, this insightful interview was recovered and now serves as a time capsule of Rubicon’s journey from humble beginnings to international expansion.

Colm shares his personal story, from discovering his passion for archaeology and history in primary school to founding one of Ireland’s leading archaeological firms. He reflects on the challenges of fieldwork, the evolution of commercial archaeology, and the excitement of managing large-scale infrastructure projects across Ireland, the UK, and Germany.

We also explore Rubicon’s recent rebrand, the launch of new offices, and the company’s role in Europe’s largest civil engineering project, SuedLink. With anecdotes, advice for aspiring archaeologists, and a touch of nostalgia, this episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the past and the future of archaeology.
