The second episode of the podClast features Ron Schott, Dave Schumaker and myself discussing plagiarism, earth day, petrol prices and a whole slew of other topics.
Episode 2 of the podClast is ready for download. You can grab the mp3 here (21.9 MB, 38 minutes), or subscribe through iTunes here.
An apology is necessary. Firstly, I’m sorry this is up late. We’re pretty new at this and we had some major teething problems with episode 2. We had some network problems, I was half asleep, and we did ramble on in places. With all the network crashing and choppy Skype audio aside, I’ve edited together something listenable. We’ll be putting safeguards into place for the next show so we don’t get these problem again.
So, in today’s episode, Ron Schott, Dave Schumaker and I chat about plagarism, Earth day, alternate energy, oil shales, the price of petrol and Where on Google Earth

Minor correction: the latest (current as I write) Where on (Google) Earth is #122. I’m a little behind on updating the master list of winners.
I listened to it last night. A job well done I must say! Though perhaps in the future it might be better to have more of structure within the talk. It seemed too much “ad hoc”. Still, keep going I like it a lot!
Thanks Lost Geologist. I was terribly unorganised this week, so we winged it a little. If our off-air discussion is at all indicative, next episode we’ll be discussing Gigapan and planetary geology, the latter of which I can talk about without end. So there’s a loose outline already.
Chris et al.
I just finished listening to episode #2 … the informal discussion style works okay, I think. As long as that’s what it’s supposed to be. The alternative would be more work for you … Chris, you’d have to act as a moderator, which would entail setting certain people up with questions (and even cutting people off if they run on). Not sure if that’s something you’d want to do.
It seems that if there were more people (>3), an informal discussion might get messy. On the other hand, the informal setting is kinda fun to listen to.
But, hey, this is great … it’s exciting that regular people can put together something like this and interact across the globe like this. I gotta get my mic and Skype account!
