10/21/2026
41:18
Let’s go old school today and talk creationism! The idea that not only did god make the world, but that it should be taught in biology class alongside evolution!

Seventh Century Māori in Antarctica? Survey Says No! - Pseudo 191
9/9/2026
33:11
Did the Māori of New Zealand make an ocean voyage all the way to Antarctica in the 7th century AD, predating the European discovery by many hundreds of years? No. Why not? Because listen and I’ll tell you, that’s why!TranscriptsFor rough transcripts of this episode head over to https://www.archaeologypodcastnetwork.com/pseudo/191ContactKinkella Teaches Archaeology (Youtube)Blog: Kinkella Teaches Archaeology ArchPodNetAPN Website: https://www.archpodnet.comAPN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnetAPN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnetAPN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnetMerch StoreAffiliatesMotion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Odyssey vs Treasure Planet: Which Movie Reigns Supreme? - Ep 190
8/26/2026
37:44
Today on the Pseudoarchaeology Podcast, we pit The Odyssey against Treasure Planet in a movie match up to the death! Why these two disparate films (besides the vague pseudoarchaeological vibes inherent in both)? Because my daughter said she likes Treasure Planet better than The Odyssey. She might be right.

As a child of the 80s, I have fond memories of the TV show “In Search Of…” It was chock full of Pseudoarchaeology silliness, but it was so much fun, and super creepy sometimes too! Plus you can never go wrong with 1970s Leonard Nimoy. The APN Awards: The APN Awards - Nominations Open!

The show “Curse of Oak Island” is now into its 13th season and still going strong(ish)! What’s the deal with this place? Why do they keep digging big holes there? Have they found anything? I’m afraid you already know the answers to all my questions. Please listen to my show anyway.

The Pseudoanthropology of the American Anthropological Association (AAA) - Pseudo 184
5/20/2026
43:01
Last time in episode 183 we checked out the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) meetings and found out that while they are behind in public outreach and always a bit too academic for the sake of being academic, they are trying to change their ways a bit and that is a nice thing. Today we look at the unfortunate case of the American Anthropological Association (AAA), who has decided that feelings matter more than facts and irrelevance is preferable to change.
