If you’re even remotely into Earth sciences this show is awesome. Love the intersections of geology and chemistry and everyday life. These two guys feed off each other perfectly; so entertaining.

One of my All Time Favorites

I recently found this podcast and it has been really informative. Chris and Jesse deliver good information in a way that is enjoyable and I’ve learned a lot. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn about our earth and why it’s important to us as people.

Informative and enjoyable

I'll admit that geology was my least favorite science. I mean rocks, so what. I liked physics, Don't get me started about inclined planes, especially after a couple of beers.

It was only later in life that I realized there was a chasm in my scientific knowledge (I know, feel free groan). All the years hiking around the world and I had no idea what I was seeing.

Well, if you feel the same way this is the podcast for you. Most of the time I'm too busy laughing to realize that hey, wait I've actually learned something (a rare thing at my age).

Listen to a couple of episodes and I guarantee you'll get hooked.

So fun, So Informative

I love this podcast. Not only do Chris and Jesse share a great friendship, which is evident in the hilarious banter, but they make geology FUN and relatable. I eagerly look forward to each new episode.

Fun Energetic

Chris and Jesse act as a great team to give you the in-depth discussion of a college level course while keeping it at a level that anyone without a geology background could understand. Combined with the humor of long-time friends, it makes it a must listen.

Great for everyone
