Set your clock a half hour ahead, because today on the New Brunswick Archaeology podcast we’re talking to Don Holly about Newfoundland and, especially, the Beothuk. Whether you’re interested in agency and history in hunter-gatherer studies, or you want to know about some of the earliest Indigenous-European interactions in North America, you won’t want to miss this show. Don also reflects on the legacy of his collection of American Antiquity reviews, “Talking to the Guy on the Airplane,” conspiracies, and why being an archaeologist both is and isn’t like being an HVAC guy. Finally in this Era of fast takes, he tell us why he’s going to listen to the new T-Swift album a few more times before he forms his opinions on it.
