On this episode of A Life in Ruins Podcast, we talk to our arch-nemesis, co-founder of the Archaeology Podcast Network, and host of the Modern Myth Podcast Tristan Boyle. We start out talking about our terrible impersonations of him and talk about where he is from and where he currently lives in the UK. We then delve into his formative years and how he got into archaeology. Tristan then nerds out about heavy metals in hair samples. We then ask him to recall the APN origin story. Tristan then talks about Unarchaeology as a response to inaccessibility within archaeology as a discipline. He then talks about his favorite "Modern Myth" Podcast and we finish talking about the CRM career field and how it needs to change.
