TDIHS #9 | Dr. Flint Dibble | Archaeology, Animal Bones, and how Flint Dibble saved Archaeology
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.____________________________________DavidWebsite: https://www.Davidianhowe.comPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/davidianhowe Store: https://www.davidianhowe.com/storeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ethnocynologyDiscord: https://discord.gg/WQSt39jHTgFlintYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FlintDibblePatreon: https://www.patreon.com/flintdibbleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/flintdibbleX: https://www.x.com/flintdibble_________

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