There is in deed an art to references! Writing, reviewing or requesting references is not as simple as it may seem, but when done well and intentionally, they can serve as a useful metric. If you are a student pursuing references for scholarships, graduate school or your first job, this podcast will help you better understand how and who to request a reference from and how to pave the way for references that will bolster your chance at success. Professors and hiring managers, we have plenty for you as well from deciphering the “secret language”, as Andrew coins it, to how to how and who you should be providing references for.

Mitigating illness as an archaeologist is tricky no matter where you are at in your career. This job takes a toll on you physically and leaves little room for R&R let alone the penalties that come with resting when you are an on call employee. Andrew and the sickly Heather, with her best “Kathleen Turner” voice, consider how to mitigate illness before and during the field and care for yourself regardless of budget. Stay safe and well out there fellow archs!
