#142 - A New Way to Classify Minerals

I initially found this podcast when I decided I wanted to learn more about geology. I was really pleased when the guys returned after a long absence. Not only are the three geologists featured in this podcast extremely knowledgeable in their field, they bring an interesting range of research and work experience to bear when discussing different topics. The thing I like the most though is pretty simple: this is clearly a group of friends who enjoy each other’s company finding a way to stay in touch. The stories and humor always keep things light and you get the sense that even though these three are experts that they don’t take themselves too seriously.

Like old friends

I wrote this review because the flannelcast people told me to write it. 

Geology rocks...

It's surprisingly entertaining...I guess
