Mysteries Unearthed with Danny Trejo is just beginning its second season. One of the Expert Presenters on the show is me, Super Important Doctor Professor Andrew Kinkella! In taking jobs like this, have I sold out? Am I an embarrassment to all of archaeology? Listen in so you can judge and make fun of me as usual.

Back in the 90s, I would often take late night drives between the San Francisco Bay Area (where my parents lived) and Santa Barbara (where I went to college). During the dark, lonely hours cruising down highway 101, I’d listen to a funky, weird, slightly creepy yet interesting radio show. I never quite understood what it was. That’s because it was Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM radio show.

Uh-oh! The Quest for Ancient Civilizations conference is coming to Scottsdale in December and I haven’t gotten tickets yet! Where will I be without my yearly supply of mumbo jumbo? Thankfully, if you missed this summer’s Cosmic Summit, it’s the same people presenting their same lame pseudoarchaeology ideas in the same boring context. If you’re looking for a black hole in which to dump money and time, you have found it!

I noticed some heated online arguments in the anthropology world about human sexuality, where several noted anthropologists recommended the book “Sex is a Spectrum” by Agustin Fuentes, so I read it. What I learned: Unfortunately, pseudoscience exists in other realms beyond pseudoarchaeology.

It’s time to talk about the hardest question in all of archaeology! This is something I get asked about a lot, plus there is a pseudoarchaeological component to this (130 thousand year old sites in the New World?). Prepare yourself for the deeply unsatisfying yet super interesting tale of the first people to enter the New World.

Graham Hancock posted a 75 minute YouTube video about how people like me are frauds, but people like him are just poor, attacked heroes fighting for justice. I thought a good move here would be to not bother fighting against his silly pseudoarchaeology stories too much this time (that’s what all my other podcast episodes are for!), but instead have a little fun by analyzing his video through the lens of narcissism (while still making fun of his idiotic stories at the same time - I can do both at the same time, I swear!).

The Shroud of Turin again? It never dies! Today I talk about the recent episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored which is all about the shroud.

I recently got the unfortunate news that Dr. Brian Fagan, one of my mentors in archaeology (and especially archaeology for the public), had passed away. I thought I’d take some time to reminisce about my time with him and how it affected me.

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.
