I thought I was done with the Shroud of Turin, but no! It has resurrected itself as if by magic to haunt me again, this time in the form of an interview with a Jesuit priest named Father Robert Spitzer (no conflict of interest there!) on the podcast Dad Saves America. Spoiler Alert!!! - it’s still fake.

I can’t believe you missed the pride and joy of late June in Greensboro North Carolina, otherwise known as Cosmic Summit 2025! The tickets started at a mere 500 bucks, allowing you to enjoy multiple boring presentations over several days covering every aspect of Pseudoarchaeological nonsense that you could ever want! Luckily I’m here to take you through it all in excruciating detail. That severe pain in your head is your common sense attempting to escape from your body.

Every so often, I need to bring this situation up to date! It’s current events time here at the Pseudoarchaeology Podcast, so I thought I’d discuss three things: The “structures” underneath the pyramids (there aren’t any), how the location of the Lost Ark was found in 1988 (it wasn’t), and how I was a special guest on Flint Dibble’s livestream with Milo Rossi (it was super fun)!

Man, did Fountain of Youth suck or what? I am not a fan of complaining about movies just to complain, but good god I may have to make an exception here. This movie is terrible, and I will use the power of my BA in Film Studies to explain why.

So I went to the annual Society for American Archaeology meetings in Denver weekend before last. I presented on my archaeology work on the Maya cenotes in Belize, but I also spent lots of time listening to (and assisting with) presentations on how to present archaeology to the public. What I learned: some people absolutely understand how to present archaeology to the public, and some people have no clue. Tune in to figure out who’s who! Special Bonus: Count how many times I accidentally refer to Milo Rossi as Stefan Milo!

Finally, Atlantis in all its glory!!! In this episode, I track the history of the oxymoron otherwise known as “Atlantean thought.” What is the history of Atlantis? Why do we still talk about it today? Where is it? Did Plato just make it up? (Hint - is Star Wars real, or did George Lucas just make it up? You decide…).

So there I was, minding my own business when the Ronald Reagan Library gave me a call and asked me to check out their exhibit on the Dead Sea Scrolls! Did they want me because I am a world-renowned archaeologist, or because I’m an archaeologist who lives only 10 minutes away? Either way, it was great.

The Moana Surfrider is easily the most haunted hotel in Waikiki. What makes it so haunt-tastic? As we explore this great hotel from 1901, feel free to listen in as I grovel for forgiveness for the crappy sound quality of episode 159.

Some days in life you may find yourself at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on Waikiki Beach. Those are defined as “good days.” While experiencing one of those good days, I thought “why not try and do a “live” podcast using just my phone and the shaky hotel wifi, centered on the history and ghost stories associated with the hotel?” It sounded like a great idea to me - listen in to see if it actually worked!

Sedona Arizona is a pretty place. It’s also so full of New Age groups and believers that it puts the mumbo in mumbo jumbo. Is this a good thing, bad thing, or it-doesn’t-matter thing?
