Oh, hey, it's 2025 Allie here to dig into my carpet bag of favorite episodes and handy one you may have missed. And if you didn't miss it, you can listen again because it's great. It's really, really a good one. Also, this encore is going up because last week I was in New York to tape a segment of The Tonight Show during which I showed Jimmy Fallon and Salma Hayek, wonder of bugs, and you can find that segment on

YouTube. But if you stick around to the end of the episode, I'll share a little bit more about that

and some stuff that got cut. But first, shipwrecks. Let's go. Oh, hey, it's your wallet, which,

if I'm so important to you, why do you lose me all the time? Allie Ward back with a watery historical

episode of Ologies. I've wanted to do this episode for so long. So this ologist is an ologite

as well and pitched the topic to me with such zeal and such passion that I just couldn't wait

to dive in and hear all about it. This Canadian got her bachelors

in classical, ancient Mediterranean and Near Eastern Studies and Archaeology from the Memorial

University of Newfoundland in Canada, where she was also the president of her scuba diving club,

and she's like moments away from her master's in maritime archaeology at the University of

Malta. This was recorded a few years ago, so obviously she got it. We'll talk about what Malta is later.

Now, as soon as I learned that her Twitter handle was Sharks and Rex, I was like, I got to know this lady.

I need her in my life. She's so enthusiastic about the science

and the culture and her approach to what lost craft represent in terms of history and lives

is really beautiful. I think you're going to dig this archaeologist. Real quick, though,

thank you to the patrons who sent in hundreds of questions for this. You can join for as little

as a dollar a month.

It's 25 cents an episode. Cheaper than a parking mirror because my love is cheap. And for no

monies, you can support the show just by telling friends and tweeting. You can leave a review

for me to discover since I have read them all. and I look for one to pick out each week.

And this fresh 2025 one is from Amanda R, Farm D, who just graduated from their pharmacy program

and wrote that Ologies has been with me from the start of my career over time.
