The podcast is part of Time Team’s expanding community and offerings, following the recent announcement of their ambitious plans for the year ahead. This new series will feature engaging discussions on all things archaeology, from the hands-on work in the field to the exciting discoveries made on-site. Listeners can expect to hear personal stories from the people behind the excavations, insights into the production of Time Team, and a glimpse into the life of an archaeologist.
Through a mix of expert interviews, behind-the-scenes revelations, and fan-driven questions, the Time Team podcast will offer exclusive inside information about the making of the show, updates on global archaeological news, and in-depth conversations with beloved members of the Time Team crew. Whether you’re a seasoned archaeology enthusiast or just curious about the past, this podcast is the perfect way to explore history like never before.

We’ll be delving deeper into the stories, the people, and the incredible work that goes into bringing history to life. I can’t wait to share our journey with listeners.”

Our fans love to be part of the conversation, and this podcast is another opportunity to get right to the heart of Time Team. We are delighted to be launching it to such an excited audience.”
