It’s a new episode of the podClast! In episode 7 we discuss really old sponge biomarkers in rocks from Oman, Palaeomagnatism, geology on Google Earth and more. This is the first episode in 7 months and it’s the longest podClast ever, so put down you rock hammer, lift a glass of something cold and listen to the banter of the geoblogosphere.

This episode of the podClast deals with the political hubbub in the U.S surrounding opening up the continental shelf for oil drilling (as well as the geology involved). The Japanese Earthquake and early warning systems and the recent flooding in the U.S.

Jess (Tuff Cookie) and I discuss slowing lava, the Phoenix lander, earthquakes causing other earthquakes, the geoblogosphere going “main stream” and much, much more.

The podClast episode 4 – a little different from what you may have come to expect. Discussions of the Sichuan earthquake and the Phoenix Mars Lander.

The third episode of the podClast features Ron Schott, Brian from Clastic Detritus, Ralph Harrington and myself discussing the recent activity on Chaiten and the Gigapan project.

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.

The first episode of the podClast features Ron Schott and myself discussing the latest eruptions on Kilauea, the pros and cons of peer-reviewed blogging and the current status of geology jobs. (now available through iTunes).
