  • The only geology podcast for me. This duo is great at taking you from a little understanding to a lot over the course of an episode or three. Guest interviews are one of the many highlights of this show for both the content of the conversations and the esteem of the guests.

  • Biogeology

    I love your podcast! It is the right amount of interaction, humor, and the best part is all the science. Several times you have noted combining biology and geology, and that reminds me of my favorite undergrad course: Pleistocene Biogeology taught by a geology professor and a botany professor in the early 1970s. It really spoke to me of the interconnectedness of earth and sparked my career as a naturalist for Ohio State Parks. I look forward to every episode…

The best geology podcast that I know of, but I have stopped listening several times after the constant talking over each other.

  • Could use better storytelling

    Really happy to see geology podcasts are out there. We honestly need more of them! So kudos for this existing. I came into this pod via the interview with Shawn Wilsey, who is an extraordinary educator and one of my favorite sources of no-nonsense geology information. From there I started to explore other episodes from Planet Geo, but honestly I cannot handle the delivery of these two guys. The delivery is like two bros discussing football rather than two academics discussing geology. The storyt... more
