This week, Dr Joanne Paul sits down with archaeologist, presenter and podcaster, Natasha Billson. Natasha might be better known to listeners as “Behind the Trowel”, her social media presence, from which she hosts regular live shows, videos, and interviews. You might also recognise her from More 4’s archeology programme, The Great British Dig.
Natasha talks about how she uses her platform to connect with colleagues and to engage with the public, particularly in the time of COVID, and the relationship between history and archaeology. She explores her outreach work and her desire to make her work more accessible and the study of the past more inspiring to people.
