EXARC PODCAST
The EXARC Show brings together people with a passion for experimental archaeological research, ancient and traditional technologies, open-air museums and heritage interpretation.
We started podcasting out of need in March 2020 (COVID) and haven’t stopped since. Our three formats are Encounters, a conversation between two experts in the field, Showcases where we highlight the work of our individual members, and Extracts featuring abridged versions of the articles in our prestigious EXARC Journal.
Since its launch, the EXARC Show has grown into a dynamic platform that brings together archaeologists, craftspeople, museum professionals, and enthusiasts from around the world. Each episode aims to share knowledge, inspire collaboration, and highlight the diverse voices shaping experimental archaeology and open-air museums today.
The EXARC Podcast is made possible thanks to our hosts:
