As an undergrad this gave me an additional resource to understand things in a conceptual and intricate manor! It’s nice to revisit some early foundational concepts.

it’s both informative and very soothing and I like to listen to it as I wind down my day. I’m learning a lot and just yesterday I got to share a fun fact (world’s oldest rock) in conversation.

As an economic geologist, I find Bedrock to be a delightful listen. My field is far removed from this, but it is exciting to learn about the early geology of the planet.

This podcast is a cut above most podcasts.

Why did it take me so long to find this! Dylan has all the ingredients of a successful teacher. I love that he highlights the pioneers (especially women) of science that have seldom have their stories told. Each podcast has simple answers to bring the content alive. He explains “What’s that like?” on all types of rocks. KISS (keep it simple student) method. I’m halfway through and will be listening from the beginning again once I’m done.

Dylan spins a delightful tale of the Earth with each fascinating episode.

Core sciences delivered with insightful depth and unexpectedly whimsical moments - this podcast is a delightful listen!

I recently started listening to Bedrock after hearing Dylan’s interview on the Common Descent podcast. Although I am an avid fan of prehistoric life and evolution, I knew very little about the Precambrian era or geology. Dylan does a great job of making Earth’s “Dark Ages” understandable, encouraging listeners to do little experiments to make concepts feel concrete. He also lays out not just what science tells us is true or probable, but how we know these things to be true or probable. From the creation of the Earth and Moon to the origin of life, this show dives into every conceivable aspect of the Earth’s early years.

I’ve forgotten most of the geology I learned at school, much of which is out of date/perspective anyway. I follow US politics fairly closely and find it a pleasing relief to change the subject from time to time. What a delight to hear from someone who has gone off in another direction and who nonetheless can speak to the lay listener and share the fascinating history of our world. Thank you.

I can’t say enough that’s good about this podcast. Dr. Wilmeth spins a fine and profound yarn for our planet’s deepest history. His voice and narrative propels and soothes almost simultaneously. The program’s production is minimal, not gratuitous, just enough to whip things along. Bedrock is truly foundational.

Fallen in love with Geology again! Brings back memories from school. Too bad I'm not in the industry. I love the classical music and Shakespeare. Keep it up!!!

Wish these were longer. So few podcasts address anything before the Cambrian. Really interesting content and wonderful music to accompany it. More, please.

Talented presenter/geologist takes us on an amazing, entertaining journey. It’s very good.

Then you’ll like this!

Everything about this show is a delight. I listen from beginning to the current end point and then start again. Thank you Dillon for all the thoughtful work you put into it. Love the music too, many favorites among the choices. Mike Leeds

I love this podcast! I learn something new every single time. It’s an interesting show and I’m glad I discovered it!

A very informative, detailed Precambrian history, that is limited in the many popular geology books I have read. The presentation is clear and repeated as necessary to connect all the episodes. I expect that the author, who creates all the dialog, will turn the episodes into an audio book, at least. Having caught up on all past episodes, I look forward to new ones.

This is one of the best. Clearly written, deeply thought out. Has he written a book? I will buy it. Absolutely a gift for science writing.

Bravo

You’ve gotten to be quite the narrator and producer! Love these glimpses into our crazy-weirdo life-filled planet, and appreciate your perspective on it! Bravo! Small note, maybe use a de-esser on your voice channel to tamp down on some of the “ess” sounds. Again, you’re brilliant, and I’m so glad you find time to do this what with your new appointment.

Tell you what this podcast is RAD! Getting me real jazzed about rocks. Thanks for all of your hard work!

I am so happy you are back. I thoroughly enjoyed season one and was rather sad when it ended. You’re storytelling is magnificent. I have learned so much. Thank you.

I don’t know how he makes this topic super interesting but he does!!

Literally listened to every episode in about 5 days and was sad to have run out… but to my delight your back! You rock 🙂

This is exactly the geological/Earth history podcast I’ve been looking for.
