Caraheard: Recent Episodes
Caraheard
An archaeology and material culture podcast. Sit in with Bill Caraher, Richard Rothaus and guests for a discussion. We don't edit; what we say is what you get.
Bill, Richard, and Kostic Kourelis discuss their favorite books of 2021 and a few other miscellaneous issues, including the podcast hiatus.
Bill, Richard and David Pettegrew discuss archaeology, the Isthmus of Corinth, and why Late Roman Historians are the best.
Bill, Richard, and Kostis Korelis explain why it took them so long to record their first podcast of the season and what they did all summer.
Bill and Richard do a Season 2 recap, and discuss summer plans for fieldwork in Greece (and elsewhere)

Caraheard Season 2, Episode 5. Bill, Richard and Kostis Kourelis talk about the best books they read this year
Richard and I talk with Ömür Harmanşah about a wide range of topics from ISIS’s destruction of antiquities to salvage archaeology in the Near East. There’s almost no excuse not to drop everything and listen to our podcast immediately.
In the third episode of season 2, we talk with Dimitri Nakassis about Late Bronze Age Greece, the collapse of Mycenaean society, and the use of digital tools in research.
In the second episode of Season 2, Bill and Richard violate the spirit of Labor Day and get to work on recording a podcast. It's okay, because our special guest is Bev, Bill's mother-in-law. Since she's from Australia, we can celebrate Labor Day late winter, like they do in the southern hemisphere. Our topic of discussion: the different houses we have lived in and how they shaped our daily lives in North America, Australia, and Greece.
Richard and Bill talk about what they did all summer which involves Minot, gravel, Cyprus, and efficient survey in Greece. It clearly did not involve French lessons.
Richard Talks to Distinguished Professor Tom Isern about Heritage Renewal, North Dakota History, and German-Russian Country
Bill asks Richard "what's in your pack", and we discuss equipment, and then we transition to "what's in your truck." We transition to stories of the legendary Ohio State University at Isthmia Van, and discuss the archaeology of stuff field archaeologists leave behind.

This is a tribute Podcast to Joel Jonientz produced by Brett Ommen from recording of Joel, Bill Caraher, and Mike Wittgraf shortly after Joel's death. Since Joel was a major inspiration for our effort to podcast, we thought it is fitting to post it here.

This week, Richard and Bill welcomed their first guest into the studio: Andrew Reinhard. We convinced Andrew to talk to us about his research on Archaeogaming which is the archaeology in and of video games. We became particularly interested in his assertion that “meatspace” is no different than the virtual space of games. This, as you might guess, triggered some vigorous discussion that eventually devolved into Bill citing Pierre Bourdieu and railing against capitalism, Richard interviewing his 8-year-old son and comparing capitalism and video games to religion, and the homunculus who operates Andrew’s flesh robot almost leaping out of his head. Needless to say, a good time was had by all.
Richard and Bill discuss history and the public and archaeology and the contemporary world with special reference to the Alamogordo Atari Excavation, Andrew Reinhard, and the Atari: Game Over documentary.
Richard and Bill use the ongoing storage crisis as a proxy to talk about some pressing issues in the current state of both academic archaeology as well as cultural resource management.
Richard and Bill talk about Bill's new book and the relationship between archaeologists and the media. Plus some sponsored content (but without sponsorship).
