Don't you think that, perhaps, that would mean that the podcasts that survive sort of retain the essence of how this phenomenon started? At least I hope places like Archaeology Podcast Network does not shut down...

Now that podcasting is "video-oriented," in a year we'll see the shift to live studio audiences, and then podcasting will achieve its final form, becoming the rebirth of 1990s daytime talk shows, but with crappier production values.

When we stop clicking on clickbait

Let me help you "do your own research" on vaccines. I spend an unhealthy amount of time in cemeteries all over the world (they are often atop or on ancient sites in part). Pre 1920-1950s, they are FULL of small children. Post, there but rare. I wonder what happened from the 20s-50s?

Three standard misperceptions about universities:

1. Professors’ main job is teaching. 🧑‍🏫
