Her other videos contain Q&As with other archaeologists and career tips as well!

- Skallagrim. A channel focused on history and medieval tools. He made a video on his experiences in studying archaeology: https://youtu.be/XtRDuBjtsR0
Overall, many viewers found his points insightful.

- Shane Hummus. His channel does not focus on archaeology, more so on college and career financial planning. However, he made a video on archaeology:
