Night all, #carryon

🎙️ New podcast episode! This week we’re joined by @hmaloigne.bsky.social to talk archaeology on screen. From Indiana Jones to The Dig, archaeologists are often portrayed as heroic adventurers. But what do these depictions really tell us about archaeology? And what do they leave out?

🔎 For my paying subscribers (thank you!) on Substack, I like to delve deeper into my work as a crime historian and this week I revealed some of the extraordinary crime-related artefacts I've discovered in the archives. 🔗 You can read a free preview here: drangelabuckley.substack.com/p/secret-art...

A terrific book. #histbookchat

Well, Halloween may be over, but as the long evenings draw in, the time for eerie true stories is here... Dorcas Kelly was infamous in C18th Dublin but why? Find out below! For more eye-wateringly tedious episodes, watch '30 Second Historian' on YouTube 🎃 youtu.be/-Tza4S3yzHQ?...

There’s my weekend plans gone

Dear @elgato.com, I'm a science educator at a non profit. My studio is powered by Elgato (2 cameras, 4 lights, stream deck, teleprompter, many many arms). You don't sponsor us... but you could. And that would enable bertter scicomm. (I have fantasies of presenting using your new teleprompter.)

It was a lovely chat sitting down and talking to Levison & Alex about their new doc The Last Burma Star - you can watch the show tonight on @skyhistory.bsky.social at 9pm. In the pod we dug into the making of the doc, & much more. Listen on Apple, Spotify, Amazon, or wherever else you get your pods

Off to the Emerald Isle for space, cocktails, and queerness 🪐🌈🍹 Today (might be sold out): spacefest.net/beyond-the-v... Wednesday: spacefest.net/taking-up-sp...

Today I’ll be wearing this poppy to remember my Great (X3) Uncle Christopher Shaw who died on the Somme and the many others who gave their lives and fought for our freedom. Forever grateful to you #RemembranceDay #RemembranceSunday #Lestweforget

This sounds really interesting! Dr Catriona Kennedy is always a fascinating speaker and I'm looking forward to reading her new book 🙂

This week on the podcast I speak with baker @katlieu.bsky.social on her new cookbook, 108 Asian Cookies! We discuss challenging misrepresentation of Asian ingredients through a celebration of their culinary adaptations in cookies and more! www.anthrodish.com/episodes/kat...

Was in a grump this morning but just seen the cover of my next book and it is STUNNING. Can’t wait to share!

Does anyone on here work with race and medicine in the southern US in the early 20th century? Niche, I know, but I came across something very weird in my late father's stuff that might be of interest. Feel free to share.

TV: In May, I had my first TV shoot with Go Button media on Mysteries of Ancient Medicine. I'm ELATED to say that the show has been picked up by National Geographic! 🤩 Grateful to my agent, @pastpreservers.bsky.social ❤️

Today’s #househistory feature in Bricks & Mortar in The Times is a fantastic historic home in Wiltshire! 😀 #househistories #history #Wiltshire

You know you are in for a treat when the @gailmyerscough.co.uk delivery arrives

#worthing has quite a collection of deckchairs and council initials stamped on the frames suggest some could be almost 100 years old #seasideheritage

Giving a talk about Robert Boyle tonight… oh, god he’s behind me isn’t he?

Come out if you are in Leicester!

I WON!! 😭❤️ Thanks so much to @womeninneurouk.bsky.social and the judges! And thanks to @thetransmitter.bsky.social for sponsoring the award and providing some goodies and mentorship, both greatly appreciated 🥰

🗃️🏺 I had so much fun recording this, thanks for having me! 😀

This is why acadmics need agents for stuff like this. I can highly recommend @pastpreservers.bsky.social at Past Preservers. Now, when I am asked to work for a documentary, for example, I do zero negotiation for me fee as the agent does that for me.

The meeting was scheduled to last 90min but the Egyptian Foreign Minister decided to go home instead. All his meetings for the next day were cancelled; no reason was cited.

While I was in Lancaster last week visiting my son, I went to the Old Pier Bookshop in Morecambe for the first time. It is an amazing place stuffed full of thousands of books on labyrinthine shelving. I picked up some true crime books to add to my collection.

Just a week away! There are some tickets left :) #ArtDeco #SeasideHistory #UKCoast

I was asked by @pipstix.bsky.social to pose as the personification of Astronomy for his series on The Modern Liberal Arts (oil on canvas). And if I was flattered to be asked, imagine when I saw the end result 🤯😳🤩

Do join us if you can 🫡

It was an absolute pleasure to chat to Ian Pegg on the Authors of History podcast about my journey as a writer. Listen here ⬇️ shows.acast.com/67c5cc6ab48a...?

🎃 My favourite spooky crime-related object is the hand of glory, which was made from the dried hand of a hanged criminal and used as a magic tool by thieves to enter a property by rendering the occupants immobile. It could also unlock doors. This one is from the Whitby Museum. Happy Halloween!

Hey, good job, Your Majesty! www.ft.com/content/a7d6...
