Note: You don't need to be an Itunes listener, but this is one of the most referenced review spots, so posting there helps boost our show.

About Afterlives with Kara Cooney & show notes

The afterlives of history echo throughout contemporary society, politics, and culture—we live with them everyday. Join Egyptologist Kara Cooney and her co-host Jordan Galczynski as they discuss ancient Egyptian history and society, the ancient world, current events, and offer a new understanding of the past and how it defines the future. Now on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, and Stitcher!

Kara and Jordan chat about their paths into academia and the process of getting into graduate school and in particular Egyptology or ancient history programs.

• The FAQ section on Kara’s website is excellent, and offers practical advice and suggestions to students at the high school, undergraduate, and graduate level who are interested in pursuing the study of ancient Egypt: https://karacooney.squarespace.com/faq
