After two years of running, this is the final episode for the Archaeo Book Club Podcast. Hosts and book club admins Ash, Judith, and Tilly bid a fond farewell by sharing their favourite past reads of the club, as well as the most anticipated books on their 2026 reading list. To all of our listeners, thank you for tuning in! And remember that just because the podcast is stopping doesn’t mean that the book club is.
