TDIHS #9 | Dr. Flint Dibble | Archaeology, Animal Bones, and how Flint Dibble saved Archaeology

Episode 9

Sunday, October 6, 2024 • Duration 02:02:29

In this episode of the David Ian Howe Show, I sit down with Dr. Flint Dibble.

Flint Dibble is an archaeologist and classicist best known for his work in zooarchaeology, his educational social media presence, and more recently… the first archaeology MMA match on the Joe Rogan Experience in which he debated Graham Hancock.

Flint has been on a ton of podcasts and interviews since his appearance on JRE, so I wanted to be the first to interview Flint archaeologist to archaeologist. And I was stoked with how well this went.

I’ve been pretty vocal about how I feel that constantly complaining about, ragging on, or even outright insulting Hancock’s character is just NOT the way to go. It’s a bad look for the field and discipline, and only helps him gain more of a controversial following.

In my opinion, Hancock is a person with opinions and ideas that should be heard, and not vilified; it just becomes whining and is not constructive. But instead, (and I have been just as vocal about this) my opinion has been that we need to sit down and talk with people like Hancock; that is way more constructive. So, I was really excited to sit down and talk with Flint, as he is the person who did just that—and changed the game doing so.

The debate and Hancock understandably take up much of the podcast if that’s what you’re wanting to hear. However, what I really wanted to talk to him about was his upbringing, his research, and his opinions on theory and archaeology. And of course, thoughts on animals, and what it means to be human. Please enjoy this episode, and Flint’s answers to these questions.

Dogs, Archaeology, History, Skits, YouTube Shorts, and more Dogs with Jonny Devaney | TDIHS #8

Episode 8

Sunday, October 6, 2024 • Duration 02:03:49

In this episode of the David Ian Howe Show, I interview my new friend Jonny Devaney (@jauncydev). Jonny is known for his viral skits about dogs, dog breeds, and him dressing up as God (making dogs). My dad actually first showed me Jonny's videos, and my Instagram followers send me them constantly. One day I noticed he followed me on IG, so I shot him a message and then bam, now we are chatting on the pod. Didn't really have a plan for this one...just wanted to get to know another funny dude on the internet, and had a lot of fun doing it. You can follow Jonny's YouTube: ⁠‪@jauncydev‬⁠ ⁠https://www.youtube.com/results?searc...⁠ As well as his Instagram ⁠‪@jauncydev‬⁠ ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jauncydev?u ...

Science, Medicine, Mammoths, CRISPR, and NASA with Lt. Sean Jackewicz MD | TDIHS #7

Episode 7

Friday, August 23, 2024 • Duration 02:20:46

Dr. Sean Jackewicz is a Lieutenant in the US Navy and currently works as a physician at Walter Reed in Washington D.C.

As you'll hear in this episode, Sean had a very unorthodox way of getting into the world of medicine and went to several schools to become a Physician, where he also won awards for his scientific research. He also joined the US Navy and currently hold the rank of Lieutenant O3.

We talk about his passion for science, his upbringing, living in Savannah, and what led him to his current job. We also discuss among many other things....cloning mammoths, de-extinction, space travel, CRISPR, and medicine in space.

I will have Sean on again to discuss the cloning of dogs!

Archaeology, Genetics, and YouTube with Stefan Milo | DIH # 6

Episode 6

Friday, August 23, 2024 • Duration 02:06:57

STEFAN MILO RETURNS

Just kidding.

This is his first appearance on my solo show, but Stefan has been on A Life in Ruins over 5 times. If you don’t already know, Stefan is a YouTuber, author, and overall awesome bloke. He has a YouTube page dedicated to making well-researched and really well-produced archaeology and anthropology videos.

I met Stefan almost 5 years ago now through our artist, Ettore Mazza, and we’ve been friends ever since. We eventually shoot the breeze about the Bronze Age, Homo erectus, and get into modern genetic science. But mainly, I ask Stefan about his current success where he started. We talk about his childhood in the UK, his undergrad at Sheffield, and then his time abroad in Europe.

We then discuss how he came to the US, Portland, and his time working IT at a credit union and how that led to YouTube.

We talk about a lot more, but if you’re a fan of Stefan, I recommend listening to the whole episode because we cover a lot!

Animals, Archaeology, and the realities of Content Creation with Zoologist Lindsay Nikole | DIH #5

Episode 5

Friday, August 23, 2024 • Duration 02:21:34

I really enjoyed my conversation with Lindsay Nikole (recorded in November), who is a zoologist, author, and TikTok star.

Lindsay makes really fun and entertaining videos on the topics of zoology, paleontology, and animal behavior. Lindsay appeared on an episode of a Life in Ruins where she sat down with Connor, Carlton and I to talk about her life and career.

But today she sits down with me for a 2.5 hour deep dive into many topics. What I really like is that we discuss the idiosyncrasies of being a content creator and how to navigate such a new and exciting (but challenging) field. We also discuss the pressures of wanting to be as accurate as possible, but what to do when we make mistakes and how to handle negative comments. Lindsay and I then talk about her management and talent agency and what we would both like to do with our social media success. I definitely go on several rants about archaeology and prehistory which I think you all might enjoy as well .

And then, as we wrap up, I ask Lindsay some rapid fire questions about zoology (which of course devolves into more fun conversation). If you’ve watched Lindsay’s videos, watched mine, or just genuinely wonder what the day-to-day is like for people like us, I think you’ll really enjoy this episode.

It was fun to realize throughout the episode that we are very similar people and I am glad to call her a friend. Felt like I was talking to someone I’ve known for a long time.

Thinking about the Roman Empire with Gaius Flavius | DIH #4 Artur Hulu

Episode 4

Friday, August 23, 2024 • Duration 02:04:27

How often do you think about the Roman Empire?

In this episode, I sit down with historic reenactor and influencer, Artur Hulu. Artur recently blew up on social media thanks to his handmade centurion costumes, passion for reenactment, and his absolutely superb meme game. I ask Arthur about his current success and then dive into his Swedish roots and his role in local government in his small town.

We then discuss the nuances of Swedish culture, politics, and how he balances his life as a reenactor and influencer. Arthur and I then dive into what it’s like to be an influencer in today’s cultural climate, and how he navigates that. We also discuss the impact Rome and Italy have had on western and world history.

Then of course we dive into Rome, where I ask him some rapid-fire questions about Rome including: who’s your favorite emperor? Favorite Roman Movie? Have you ever performed testudo? What weapon would you use as a gladiator? What caused the fall of the empire? And more.

"Professional Caveman" Donny Dust on Dogs, Stone Tools, Survival, and how to be Human | DIH #3

Episode 3

Friday, August 23, 2024 • Duration 01:39:17

Donny Dust has been a solid mentor the last few years. Since his TikTok exploded, it's been ironic to watch my caveman sensei(?) amass over 10 million followers on TikTok. All 10mil of whom....in 2023, watch him make stone tools everyday.

Here's us chatting about dogs, rocks, prehistory, and how his time as USMC Counterintelligence kinda made him an applied anthropologist, survivalist, and educator. But mostly about the things mentioned in the title.

You can find his books and classes on his website: https://www.donnydust.com/

Archaeology, dogs, bears, hunter-gatherer tools, clothing, and ice age life vs. today | DIH #2

Episode 2

Friday, August 23, 2024 • Duration 01:21:12

Spencer Pelton, PhD, is the Wyoming State Archaeologist, which is considered one of the most respected positions in North American Archaeology.

Spencer did his graduate research regarding lithic technology and the ways in which ice age peoples tanned and sewed hides. His PhD dissertation focused on understanding human thermoregulation and how the stone tools we find can tell us about daily life and keeping warm in the cold, distant past.

Spencer also spent time doing ethnoarchaeological work in Mongolia, where he interacted with a lot of dogs at a reindeer herding camp. I consider Spencer to be a good friend, but also a mentor. So I hope you enjoy our chat about life in the past and life in the present.

Live from the field with Dr. Robert Kelly | DIH Show #1

Episode 1

Friday, February 23, 2024 • Duration 52:44

In this first episode of my new podcast, I talk with my former professor and committee co-chair, Dr. Robert Kelly.

Dr. Kelly literally wrote the book on hunter-gatherer science and human behavioral ecology. Bob is an accomplished archaeologist, anthropologist, and was President of the Society for American Archaeology for a time.

In this episode we talk a lot about the history of anthropology, including Bob working under Lou Binford, and me working under Bob. We also talk about Clovis people, stone tools, human evolution, cave art, human ontology, potlacthes, and the role of anthropology in Sci-Fi and post apocalyptic stories.

We filmed this live in the field at the LaPrele Mammoth Site, WY, so forgive me for the sound. Lots of cars and wind.
