About this listen

Like history, but don’t like the same old boring history shows? Well, this podcast may have you covered. Hosts Raquel and Belle, two archaeologists from Australia, talk all things weird in history over many, many wines… sometimes too many wines. Not taking themselves too seriously, each episode explores a different topic as the pair share weird stories from times past. Who knows, you may even walk away knowing something new…© 2026 Archaeologists Behaving Badly World

    We filmed this episode weeks before Pope Francis' passing (may he rest in peace), but thought we'd still share this really interesting episode. We delve into the wild connection between Napoleon and the Vatican, exorcisms and some fascinating archaeological finds unearthed within the Vatican walls itself. This was a really fun episode, we hope you enjoy it! As always, we love to hear from you so if you have any ideas or topics, let us know!

    Oct 21 2024

    We are back with a brand new episode, talking all things wild in medical history and archaeology!

    Belle begins by telling us of an incredible medieval hospital in Scotland which has had some fascinating finds relating to healthcare. Belle also gives us some insight into ancient medical practices - some of which we still use today! Raquel then goes on to discuss her favourite topic... lead poisoning! As well as the outrageous medical practices and "cures" that were around in the 19th century, while also having a chat about some pretty gross finds that the team have found during excavations in Melbourne, Australia.

    This definitely is not an episode to be missed... but we warned, viewer discretion is advised as some of it is pretty gross!

    As always, we love it when we hear from you! Send us an email, a message or find us on Instagram and YouTube to let us known which part you liked the most, which medical practice you found was the most outrageous or any new topics you think we should discuss in the future!

    We love you guys, and all of your support!
