The geology podcast I’ve been looking for!!
I graduated with a geology degree last spring and have been dearly missing long nights in the geo lab, chatting with friends about cool geologic concepts. Luckily, this podcast has filled the void! The perfect combination of informative and casual.
Exactly the Geology Podcast You're Looking For!!!
I'm a geology/earth science enthusiast and the Geology Flannelcast is now my favorite science podcast. That's just after listening to three episodes! This podcast is really fun to listen to and I'm learning a lot as well. Thank you to the Flannelcasters for this excellent and accessible presentation of geology for people like me!
