I just happened to find a fun "podcast" made by a tourism group called "Off the Beaten Track." It's a 9-minute video that gives a basic overview of Vindolanda. The first 3 minutes are narrated (with only a few glaring factual errors), followed by 6 minutes of just background music (the last few minutes comprising dodgy Metallica baseline covers).

There's nothing new here for diggers. It plays more like a series of home movies than a polished travelogue. But in case anyone has friends or family that keep hounding you with "What on earth is Vindolanda?", this does have decent images of the archaeology and grounds.

Click here for the video. (You need the QuickTime player in order to view the video.)
