    Getting reacquainted w geology
    Love the show. Listened to perhaps 3 episodes. Have an MS in oceanography. Did a paleomag thesis on the Columbus River basalt. But that was many years ago. Nice work, gentlemen!

    Amazing geology podcast
    Love it
  • Memetic
    Excellent source for life-long learners
    The podcast is very well researched and presented. I could do without the banter, but it's tolerable. For some the information is given too fast, but the beauty of podcasts is that you can parse out episodes bit by bit and take your time while learning the subject matter. Great job!

    Great podcast to learn about all aspects of geology
    It gets a bit technical but is still great. I like the banter between the hosts (and their history). When I put a podcast in my library, they have to have good rapport. I know a little of geology but I’m a biologist by career ( I am retired now).

    Very well done
    Accessible to everyone yet worthwhile for geology PHDs. Love hearing the pros talk about their work and glad to hear the latest In geoscience

    Outstanding
    Simply love this Podcast and these guys. Informative, funny and a real learning experience. They balance each other out and keep it on a level where you can actually understand and learn from each episode. Their love of geology and of teaching burst thru. Seriously……thanks!
  • Foxymoobun
    You led the charge.
    I listened to this podcast in the spring of 2023. I am currently in my 2nd semester of school, with a duel major of environmental geoscience and environmental planning with a minor in hydrology. I give all credit to you guys, your podcast made me fall in love with learning about earth. You all make it so exciting and fun and I learn so much from it. Keep it up! Look forward to listening more. Always telling people they need to look you up and listen! Thanks guys so much!!

    Great content
    But the former student is really rude
  • ELunceford31
    Great at the “so what”
    This podcast is great and breaks down geology in an interesting way so that it is easily understandable. Chris and Jesse balance the conversation and explain why the geo science is important while providing the technicalities. Would like a little more girl power, but they do this with many of their guests.
  • Bassman28
    Great info, great platform
    The right amount of geology with a dash of backstory and a pinch of sidebars and tangents. They love what they do and they do what they love. I wish there was a new episode every other day.

    Our beautiful earth
    This is the only podcast I listen to where I do nothing but listen. There is so much information shared about our geology. Chris and Jesse’s enthusiasm is contagious. Do yourself a favor and check out campGEO. Amazing.
  • kristi history
    Best geology podcast
    Thank you for taking time to do this. So informative and absorbing

    Too much side conversations and giggling
    Too much side conversations and giggling, not taking geology seriously enough for me. Need to take geology more seriously.
  • Bayonets 1863
    Indispensable
    Tremendous resources for anyone interested in the geosciences.

    Geology and caving
    I love this podcast! I’ve shared it with my grotto groups😊
  • Mika and Martine
    Just the right balance!
    I found this podcast because I have a 10 year old daughter who wants to be a geologist when she grows up. We rock hound and explore national parks and your podcast provides a great balance of information and inspiration for us new to this field. Love the humor too! #erosionhappens
  • introvertedhairstylist1105
    Thank you for this!
    Hi! I am considering going back to school for Geology in the spring and listening to your podcast is sparking my interest further! Thanks for explaining everything in a way that the average person can understand.
  • CurlsintheSquatRack
    Casual and Informative
    Knowledgeable hosts discuss geology in a casual and easygoing manner. Great stuff.
  • zbobzbobzz
    A Great Geology podcast
    Gosh I love listening to these guys. They make learning about the Earth so much fun.
  • Emy Seattle
    Love Planetgeo
    Informative & fun. Great guests and the stories are a digestible level. Well done. Look forward to each episode!
  • Chris_49426
    Planetary Power x2 !!
    Listen, learn and laugh along with a couple amazing scientists who share knowledge and fun facts about the world around us. You will never look at the planet the same way again! Really enjoy the guest speakers too! Everyone is so down to earth and relatable ! Keep up the great work!
  • Rocklover86
    Outstanding
    For someone who has little to no appreciation for geology/rock science, I can’t get enough of this podcast. It’s incredible—the young aspiring academic Jesse dropping rock knowledge while the elder rocksman Chris is always there to keep things in perspective. I can’t contain my excitement every time a new episode pings across!
  • geohikerbiker
    Interesting and informative!
    I love this podcast as a geology’s because I relearn some of the basics I’ve forgotten about— and I’ve shared it with friends and family who aren’t trained geologists, which has helped them learn more and we have interesting discussions together from it!
  • Amanananabv
    Interesting and entertaining
    Love this podcast - Chris and Nessie know their topic well, but even better they discuss and it explain things so well that you’ll be dying to visit all the locations they mention. They’ve had some great guests as well
  • karinawhite
    Great for use in the classroom!
    I’ve enjoyed this podcast and refer to it so often in my high school AP environmental science class that I decided to assign one of the podcasts for my students to listen to and discuss. It was awesome! A chance for them to learn and hear from experts in the field who are incredible at explaining geoscience ideas to any level. I highly recommend listening and for any science teachers out there, sharing with your students.
  • What. Only 48 hours
    my favorite science podcast!
    This is the perfect mix of geoscience and humorous banter. It’s great hearing two old friends chat about what we all love! Thanks for the knowledge, inspiration, and laughs! 🌎❤️
  • GrantCO7
    Great episodes!
    The Yellowstone episode was fantastic- I’m changing my 2021 summer plans!! Great podcast for someone who knows nothing about geoscience but likes to walk in the woods.
  • meg.NoMi
    Great education for people from all walks
    I didn’t end up studying geology in college, but I loved my high school geology class taught by Mr. Bolhuis. These podcasts are a perfect way for me to keep learning and understanding the beauty of our world as I adventure through it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in a way that anyone can understand!
  • Hoogness
    Great podcast! Keep it up!
    Chris was pretty instrumental (in a very good way) in shaping my career path/college path out of high school. I still talk about Summer Science Institute to this day! Jesse and I went on the trip summer of 2004. WHOA! Over 16 years ago! Loving the podcast so far. Have you thought of having a special guest once in a while to share what geoscience professionals do in different industries? Keep it up!

    Exceptional, informative and entertaining! This podcast is a great way to focus on our amazing earth. Both hosts are VERY qualified and their interaction is like a perfectly timed dance. Love it!
  • Doc GMelt
    Valuable resource
    It is about time somebody did this for geology. I cannot wait to see the direction this podcast goes. The hosts are very knowledgable and you can tell they are prepared for the topic. Good work, gentlemen. Keep it up.
  • S.Cramer
    For me!!!
    Basketball coach who knows nothing about earth science, but has always been interested in it. Looking forward to more episodes.
  • alyssalassss
    loved!
    has obviously been created by very intelligent co-hosts but the information is entertaining and digestible!!
  • meg1.2.3.
    Great!
    Super informative but also hilarious!
  • Tess.Alexandra

    Kudos to Jesse and Chris on sharing their passion for our earth! They are obviously good friends with shared experiences that enhance the discussion, but they also come at this topic from two different careers which adds much to the presentation. I look forward to learning more about a subject I don’t read much about.
  • amen tor
    Good Stuff!
    For a non-geologist, I think this new podcast has broad appeal for everyone, from scientists in other fields to non-scientists alike. We can all stand to learn more about our planet as its resources become more limited. Bravo on the initiative Jesse and Chris are taking to educate us all! Look forward to the episodes to come.
  • Kels Fro
    Love this!
    I’m learning about our earth, while being thoroughly entertained. These guys are super knowledgeable, but also break it down so anyone can understand! This is an easy five star rating!
