Todd is joined this week on the show by Dr. Terry Hunt, the University of Oregon as Dean of the Clark Honors College and professor of anthropology, to discuss Easter Island.

Dr. Hunt’s recent book, "The Statues that Walked: Unraveling the mystery of Easter Island", co-authored with Carl Lipo, revisits the dramatic story of Rapa Nui’s prehistory.  The book won the Society for American Archaeology’s book of the year award, 2011, in the public audience category. Dr. Hunt’s research was the focus of a National Geographic Magazine cover story (July, 2012) and a full-length Nova-National Geographic TV documentary that aired on PBS in November 2012.
