I feel blessed to listen to past, present and future ongoing research in Earth Sciences. This postcast is the only potcast I listen to, together with NASA’s podcasts. I confidently recommend listening to well esteemed Professors featured in Geology Bites’ episodes. Regards

Great show! As always. Love to hear your guest’s say, Extraordinary ideas require extraordinary evidence. Makes their new information to me much more credible. Oliver is a great interviewer and draws out his guests excitement in their subject.

First podcast I’ve added to my library for years! I’m slowly working my way through every back episode. Hoping to find out how mountain ranges form that are not due to being on plate boundaries, like in the middle of continents. Also, finding out about the origins of cratons: I find these...Read full review »

This is a topic that has always fascinated me and it is exciting to listen to all of the guests and the host is excellent. My daughter just got her MS in Geology and I am happy to learn about some of the things she talks about! We used to go rock hunting when she was little and it sparked her...Read full review »

If you love geology and remember a bit of Earth Science from 9th grade, you will enjoy this podcast. The host does an excellent job of translating and clarifying exactly what I need in order to understand the work of the guest scientist. To American ears, his English accent, nice voice, supreme...Read full review »

I was delighted to find this collection of podcasts. I am not a geologist but I am very interested in the environment - geology, flora, fauna, etc. These bites are the perfect length and I really appreciate the supporting information - photos, diagrams, etc. Fantastic to hear from the experts and...Read full review »

The title ‘Geology Bites’ conceals the outstanding quality and depth of these fascinating podcasts. Having discovered Geology Bites quite recently, I have feasted on the entire back catalogue. Researchers at the cutting edge of geology (and related sciences) explain their current thinking and...Read full review »

The podcast is concise, interesting, and informative. Extraneous information or banter is not part of Geology Bites podcasts. Geology Bites provides information and background talks regarding current events related to geology or other branches of physical science. Thank you to Oliver Strimpel...Read full review »

I’m what scholars might call a moron. I have just enough knowledge of geology to convince myself that I’m learning something that I can incorporate into my life other than shouting out wrong answers at the TV while watching Jeopardy. Despite being a moron, and serial wrong answerer, it’s clear...Read full review »

The caliber of guests on this show is world class. The conversation is informative yet easy to follow. I’ve been lucky enough to study under a few of the guests that teach at CU - Boulder and still learned so much from them on this podcast. Keep up the great work, I look forward to each episode.

Concise interviews with geology researchers. Excellent audio quality. Has a great companion website as well.
CurlsintheSquatRack via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/21
I have spent the last 1.5 years learning about geology by listening to the entirety of 3 different geology podcast series, reading books, and watching online lectures. In my opinion this podcast nailed the format better than others. Each episode is full of information that is edited flow and be...Read full review »

I was fortunate enough to be taught by a few of the geologists who have spoken on this podcast (albeit a long time ago). When you are taught the fine details on the subject you can easily get lost in them. These podcasts really provides a focused summary of these experts’ subject matter. More...Read full review »

With only a few YouTube videos about geology under my belt, I find Oliver Strimples podcast fascinating. He finds extremely interesting interviewees and manages to convey their amazing research in the language for the general listener. Classic popular science
HarryInk via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 11/03/21
This is just about one of the best podcasts in my library. Mr. Strimpel and his interviewees provide a way to understand rocks in our world in a way that utilizes the experience and knowledge of the top geologist in the world. He is able to unpack complicated theories and research so that the...Read full review »

Geology Bites invites listeners into fascinating dialogues with leading researchers about the chemistry, physics, and biology that created, and continue to create, the universe—the very ground, mountains, and oceans that make up this home planet of ours!

I am so pleased to have found this podcast! I teach geology and have already had my students use several episodes, which they have enjoyed and benefited from very much. What the host does especially well is find guests who are doing important and current work in a variety of geoscience fields,...Read full review »

Really interesting interviews of eminent geologists who explain their research in (relatively!) simple language. A huge range of topics make for fascinating listening
Brown Teddies via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 09/14/21
I am enjoying very much Oliver Strimpel's new blog "Geology Bites" At first, I was a little put-off by how how and dry the interviews seemed (I usually listen to Ira Flato's Science Friday and read the NYT science science pieces. This show is decided more scholarly academics . But...Read full review »

I have now listened to three of these podcasts, and cannot recommend them highly enough! I thought I knew the outlines in this field but have been surprised at how much new has been discussed that I was unaware of. I like the Q & A format, and how experts in the subject are engagingly...Read full review »
