Collaborations

We love collaborative works! In fact, depending on how you cut it, most of our work might fall in to that realm if you count our professional guests, co-hosts, and guest blog posts. However, this section is dedicated to collaborative work the podcast has done in other people’s arenas. Where we’ve been guests, other work our co-hosts do, and some thoughts and ideas on what kind of things we would like to be a part of in the future.

If you would like to contact us about a collaborative concept or idea, please contact us!

Guest Appearances

In June of 2018, Kirsten Lopez and Emily Long made a guest appearance on the Seven Ages Audio Journal to discuss women in the field of archaeology and the importance of femenine voices in the media.

Sara Head is a well-known co-host on a long-running blog and podcast, Archaeological Fantasies. You can find new and archived episodes, blog entries, and fun discussions exploring pseudoscience and her new podcast on paranormal archaeology.

Go Dig a Hole is a podcast out of Portland, Oregon that was first started at the Archaeology Podcast Network alongside Women in Archaeology. The founder Chris Sims had roped Kirsten Lopez into recording a couple sessions in person, and she was hooked! Operating out of a small independent recording studio in Portland, they host local archaeologists, artists, and fellow podcasters into fun conversations, political diatribes, and ethical quandaries.
