Customer Reviews
Perfect travel listening
John and Shannon are so fun to listen to while traveling to and from school. They make difficult concepts easier to understand.
Love the banter
Great, topical insight on geoscience with fun hosts.
Great banter
I listen during the data entry parts of work and it keeps me entertained. I laughed out loud at the one newton in a square meter = a pascal joke.
