Impressed by Maxwell’s writing and delivery. Thanks for an enjoyable podcast. All thing treasure, all day long!

I was so excited then I heard the host’s voice. Effeminate high school kid voice, not interested in what he’s reading either. I checked a few other episodes and yea… he’s in the rest of them too

My favorite new podcast

Two idiots talking about things they have no clue about.

Episode suggestions: The tomb of Antiochus (Nemrut Dag) in Turkey. This story includes classic archeology, a still unearthed burial chamber and a kickass female archeologist.

I’ve known Maxwell for most of my life, and as such, I can validate that his personality truly shines through the prism of this podcast like a lighthouse in a dark fog. Combining his affinity for cultured writing with his passion for treasure hunting, Relic proves you don’t need to be an NPR radio host to be professional. His pacing and subject matter are quite engaging without seeming overly dry or dense. While not every topic may grab the attention of listeners, there is something here for everybody - from the popular to the esoteric. If you enjoy strange yet wonderful tellings of hidden gems of our collective past, this podcast is for you. Looking forward to exploring the entire catalogue of Relic in the future.

I thought I wrote one of these years ago when I first started listening, but oh well, I will write one now. Maxwell and his podcast on Lost Treasure of the world is well researched, well done, and well done with passion for the material. As a lifelong lover of the idea of lost treasure, I could not have found a better source to learn so much more about something that lives mostly in my wildest dreams. It's my favorite podcast and you won't regret listening to this gem.

Honestly surprised this isn’t more widely appreciated! Love the host 💕!

I love this podcast. The subjects are interesting and the host is very charming.

Why would you ruin a potentially good podcast with numerous (failed) attempts to be funny? It makes it unlistenable.

I have only listened to two podcasts and I find I can only listen to about half an ep before the random “jokes” and the speech pattern bothers me. I prefer something a little more like an audio only documentary. Good idea for a pod though.

Not sure how I came across this podcast. I added it to my long list this past summer & started listening recently. What a pleasant surprise. The host is knowledgeable, charming and adds just the right amount of humor. A hidden gem that I will definitely be chatting up.

I’ve always wanted to find buried treasure! Ever since I saw Jumanji and he finds the same at the construction site in the dirt in that lovely old chest! You keep my dream alive! Keep it up! 🖤GGP

Who doesn’t love adventure? Intrigue? Maxwell’s RELIC podcast provides both. Plus, it’s all wrapped up in a very polished, organized bow! Max is a brilliant writer, speaker and engaging host. So pack your bags, your maps, and up your insurance policies. You don’t know where this treasure hunt might take you. 🖤, Brock Cocktail Party Massacre Podcast

I am loving this new find! It was recommended to me a long time ago but with my long list of podcasts, it took me a while to try it. WAITING = BIG MISTAKE! This podcast is so well researched and makes me feel like I’m on a treasure hunt with my best friend! Love it! -Heather Wright (Nature vs Narcissism & Status Pending Podcasts)

This podcast presents history in a practical and engaging way. The host’s passion is contagious and I look forward to every new episode!

You’ll learn some things, some fun things, but you’ll also get great stories and tons of jokes and references each episode. A great listen and highly recommended.

Rarely do I find single host show that manages to bring good production, new topics, real info AND humor together but this one does. I am genuinely thrilled and excited to binge the old episodes and start complaining that there aren't more!

This is a fun and highly informative podcast. Keep up the great work, Maxwell!

As someone who has taught history and poured over too many historical documents, I love this podcast. Maxwell does an amazing job making his research approachable to a general audience. From his choice of topics and the path he takes looking for the treasures, this podcast is like learning history from your best friend. I will definitely be forcing everyone I know to listen to the podcast. Historian endorsed!!

I started listening to this podcast via a reccomendation. Each episode is very well resarched, insightful, and I love Maxwell's sense of humor and pop culture references. Lastly, Maxwell takes time and cosideration to learn how to pronounce foreign names. Keep up the good work!

A great look at history and mysteries in a whole new way.

Relic is a wonderful laid back podcast that is suiting for all ages. It is informative without being boring or dry. Truly great to have a history podcast with a sense of humor and makes you wonder what do you really know? You should subscribe today!

The host, Maxwell, does a great job with this podcast. For me, as a listener, three things stick out: 1) the extraordinary amount of historical detail, contextualized within and connected to contemporary culture. This makes the amazing(ly random) artifacts he covers even more fascinating. 2) His general personality and humor. This isn't a dry review of antiquities; this is a deep dive into history through material objects, fragments, skeletons, and lore. 3) The music. The music is always topical and relevant. It always adds to, never detracts from, Maxwell's storytelling. Excellence!

Maxwell provides great insight into the topics and interesting notes of the lost treasure. This was a great podcast find for us

Maxwell is so engaging and well researched. I learn so much every episode.

Do you like history and adventure? Maxwell takes you on a journey. This podcast is the aural equivelent of going to the museum. You have made a subscriber. Keep it up!!

Seriously. Maxwell is the BEST. His whit and sarcasm make his storytelling super entertaining. He speaks in our millennial language! It’s hilarious! 😁 Definitely on par with Tawny from The Dirty Bits podcast and I want to be BEST friends with both of them lol

Amazing research and narration. If you like history AT ALL, you will enjoy this podcast! Even if you don't care about history or never liked it in school, give this show a chance and i bet it will change your mind! The host makes it fun, (and funny) while teaching you things you didn't know about history. Amazing stories!

I am absolutely obsessed with this podcast and look forward to every episode! It's well researched, fascinating, and is respectful of other cultures. It's also definitely off the beaten path when it comes to mysteries and history. Keep up the great work!

As a person who secretly hopes to one day find my very own treasure hoard, I love this Podcast! It is very well researched, and edited and the host manages to give the right amount of comedy needed to make it so enjoyable! I have subscribed, you should too!

I recently was sent this podcast as a must listen, and that recommendation did not disappoint. Full of interesting factoids, great delivery and very well mixed. Both educational and entertaining to boot!

I love this podcast!! Thanks to Maxwell for mixing fascinating stories with a heavy dose of fabulous wit! Please keep up the great work! 😘💃🏻

👍🏻👍🏻

Very well researched and great audio. Very interesting - even if you aren't a big history buff.
