The podcast episodes provided demonstrate how archaeological interpretation can be used to understand the collapse of Bronze Age civilizations in the Mediterranean region.

In the first episode, Not With a Bang, but a Whimper, the Collapse of the Bronze Age Mediterranean, the hosts examine the various factors that led to the collapse, challenging the notion of a 'Dark Age' and emphasizing how regular people adapted and transitioned to new ways of life, preserving cultural memories that formed the basis for Greek mythology.

The second episode, Conversations: The Things They Found in Tombs, Bronze Age Mycenae w/ Dr Kim Shelton, features an interview with an archaeologist who provides insights into the archaeological evidence and cultural practices of Bronze Age Mycenae, particularly focusing on burial practices, religious rituals, and connections to Minoan culture and Greek mythology.
