A Walk Through History episodes

  • Archaeology: What Not To Do

    Heinrich Schliemann, a treasure hunter from the 1800's shows us what archaeology ISNT. Here, I researched his discovery of Troy and his methods of unearthing the site. 


    I also discuss the way archaeology is ACTUALLY done. 


    Thank you to my great friend Sean Hayden for meeting with me and sharing what it means to be in the field and how everything comes together as an archaeologist.

  • Smuggling Through History

    This is a full episode from my radio show on campus. I removed the required PSA's and cleaned up the audio a little. 


    Smuggling through history was a way for people to avoid the high taxes given by the government. This episode focuses on some of the reasons why smuggling happened in France, England and parts of the US in the 1700s - 1800's. One little port in Cornwall England was one of the biggest smuggling rackets at that time.

    I practiced my pacing in this episode, wanting to make sure it did not go too fast like I did in the Joan of Arc episode.

    This is a class assignment I was given. I had to create a minute long PSA on any topic of my choosing. Short and sweet, some of the most important information about rabbits before you adopt one.
