  • Informative podcast but the host needs to use a or headphone

    Sound quality from the host is poor. Sounds like he is streaming on a Nokia 3210. If he got a standard pair of headphones it would even be much better.

    But an enjoyable podcast otherwise with informed guests!

  • Highly recommend!

    I left a career in exploration geology about 3 years ago after moving back to the U.K. from Australia but Rob's excellent podcast really makes me miss the industry! I highly recommend this podcast for graduates and established mining professionals alike.

Q: What are the main challenges to succeed with this tailings project, especially around permitting and community engagement?
