  • Amazing pod cast

    I am a geologist and I have binge listened to this podcast because Chris and Jesse have the ability to talk to the geologist as well as to the person that has very little knowledge of geology. This is something I will recommend to any one curious about how our planet works.

  • 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…

  • Stop talking over each other especially one of you.

    One of you acts like a petulant little child when you wanna talk by cutting the other person off, then have the audacity to then condescend them at the same time. Truly remarkable. The best geology podcast that I know of, but I have stopped listening several times after the constant talking over each other.
