We're back!!!! In the first of our 'How Accurate is That Film' (title to be workshopped) podcasts, join us as we accompany Dr Henry Jones Jr into a world of giant balls, despicable villains and questionable depictions of archaeological practice.

With both of us struck low by the Covids, this episode is a paracetamol-fuelled journey through what's new in the world of old stuff. We also do a bit of quizzing to establish Lisa's actual geographical knowledge baseline :). Grab a blanket and a Lemsip (other flu remedies are available) and join us on a weird ride.

It's time to head back to the 16th century and across the pond to the early colonisation of what would become the United States! Join us as we explore the 'mysterious' lost colony of Roanoke, attempt to sift out the actual facts from the time and try not to offend people with inaccurate language.

In this, the final part, Jim and I battle our way through some of the theories about what happened to the Dyatlov group from the smart and scientific to the good grief really?

Part 2 of our episodes on the Dyatlov Pass incident!This episode is about what was found... and there was a just enough to provide plenty of fodder for episode 3... the theories! I would say "enjoy" but more, we hope you find this interesting and informative, with just enough irreverenceSo the Urals... Siberia? The REAL mystery

Part 1 - just Lisa and just the history of the expedition up to when they were due to returnAll the history but still a smidge of mystery. Oh but just wait for the next part...!
