Blood for the Gods

Back in February I was interviewed on camera about the ancient Celts and human sacrifice in a historic context covering Romans, Irish and Welsh sources, archaeology, and things like bog bodies. The interview was for a documentary about human sacrifice in cultural contexts, focusing on the Americas, Europe, and the Near East. The Discovery channel is airing the first two of three episodes tonight. The series is called “Blood for the Gods.” There are a total of three episodes; I have no idea when the third will air, or which one I might be in, if they didn’t cut me as hopelessly boring. I also have no idea at all if I’ll end up looking daft, which is quite possible. I don’t have a TV so I can’t watch, but the information about the episodes is here. I’m told that all the episodes will likely be shown several times.
