The Go Dig a Hole podcast is back! This time Lauren Jensen from ARtGlass joins us to discuss how augmented reality is here right now, and it's making heritage more accessible and available to people who haven't traditionally had a shared narrative in the heritage professions. Pretty cool stuff!

Happy Halloween! This year we decided to bring double the fun with TWO NEW EPISODES of the Go Dig a Hole podcast. There are also TWO WAYS TO LISTEN: episodes 81 and 82 are available individually and as an all-in-one double header! The double-header is linked above. EPISODE 81 - Archaeology in Folk Horror and Haunting w/ Travis Corwin Individual show link: First up, Travis Corwin tells a frightening tale of an archaeological site in the murky swamps of Florida where horrifying events happened to the archaeologist who worked there. Travis also discusses the idea of "haunting" as a way to relate traumatic events of the past being temporal anomalies that shatter linear concepts of time and our relationships to the past. PLUS, he had "City of the Dead" (1960) playing on a massive projector behind him so Chris could watch a classic folk horror movie.

Paulina Przystupa and Meghan Dennis join this new episode of the Go Dig a Hole podcast to drop tons of puns and talk about the upcoming launch of their public archaeology project's beta test. Paulina works with data visualization, programming, and stats; and Meghan works with user experience (UX) and archaeological ethics. Together, they've created a data literacy program through the Alexandria Archive Institute that offers a chance to learn fundamental skills with digital tools in archaeology.

This episode aired sometime in 2015 and, while many of the archive episodes have been omitted due to dated or inaccurate info, this one still feels as relevant as it did 6 years ago. Here are some of the questions we explore: How do you make yourself stand out as an undergrad? What does a good job applicant look like? Where do you start when you're building your professional network from scratch? These are the big questions we struggle with early on in our careers as archaeologists, but there's something on your side if you're still in undergrad - opportunity.

This episode is shorter than we usually do, but we wanted to get the word out for a very important panel discussion organized by The Black Trowel Collective on Unionizing in North American Archaeology. It’s streaming live on Thursday, June 24 from 1-3pm Pacific Time and will be recorded to be watched later. We also offer some of our thoughts on labor conditions in cultural resources archaeology.

Tia, Tipton, and Chris rode their bikes to a cemetery in Portland because we thought it would be quiet. While it was peaceful and quiet in person, the microphone picked up a LOT of environmental noise. After a week of tweaking the levels, adaptive noise filters, and trying to cut out the noisiest sections without destroying the content, we finally had to just put this out there. Being the first time we've gathered in person, we experimented with an outdoor mic that picked up such wonders as: someone revving their truck because they got stuck on a pedestrian path, low-flying planes, and the crows that the PNW is famous for. Anyway we kept the noise because there were some good discussions and we were so stoked to see each other in person for the first time in a year.

So last time when we covered the "essentials" for doing archaeology, we kinda threw the kitchen sink at the episode and covered a lot of ground without going into much detail on any of the specific points. This time we tackled a question that everyone interested in archaeology faces - how do you get your first job? Spoiler alert - network! network! network! Easier said than done, right? We have some advice for that. LINKS Support Go Dig a Hole on Patreon: www.patreon.com/godigahole Like Go Dig a Hole on Facebook: www.facebook.com/godigahole
