S4 Ep1: A career with Vikings

Welcome back to the first episode of this new season of Career in Ruins. It’s been six months since we last did a pod and my word have we been busy. This week our hosts, Derek and Lawrence, catch up on what they have been up to, address some of the amazing archaeology that has been on the telly box of late and interview the fantastic Dr Cat Jarman. Cat is bioarchaeologist and archaeologist specializing in using forensic techniques to understand past peoples. Her research involves vikings, diet, and mobility. Her book 'River Kings' was one of the Times' best history books of 2021. Cat can also be seen hosting the BBC's Digging for Britain and  Ancient Secrets of Althorp on Channel 4.    Theme tune by Charles Harrison based on the tune created by Guy Dowsett (series sound engineer).  Logo created by Ed Hudspeth.
