The EXARC Show
Welcome to the EXARC Show! We started podcasting out of need in March 2020 (covid) and haven’t stopped. The EXARC Show brings together people with a passion for experimental archaeological research, ancient and traditional technologies, open-air museums and heritage interpretation. Our three formats are ‘Encounters’, a conversation between (two) experts in the field, ‘Showcases’ of the work of our individual members, and ‘Extracts’ from articles in our prestigious EXARC Journal. Meet our three hosts, who all bring their own expertise and enthusiasm to the show.
