Great 👍👍

A perfect semi-scripted but tightly formatted show of topical discussion with room for additional insights and revelations. Daring to tackle the topics no other geology podcast does.
Been listening since granite counter tops. Elated with the return from the hiatus and cementing my fan-ship ever since.

Rock on flannel cast.

Keep tackling those subjects that no one else will.
