This episode the Flannelcasters talk about William "Strata" Smith.  He was dubbed the "Father of English Geology".  The gang also talks about really big dinosaurs, debters prison, and Victorian England.

In this installment of the Geology Flannelcast Chris, Jesse, and Steve discuss the most fundamental question in all of geology- how does a rock become a rock. The gang also talks about how Yosemite Valley formed, what happens when lightening strikes a mountain, and Jesse's favorite month of the year. 

For the 3rd and final mini Flannelcast, Steve talks about his research in analyzing the lead in the soils of Philadelphia.  Spoiler alert: tacky Led Zeppelin references ahead!  Jesse is still searching for an intro/outro song.

This is 2nd installment of the mini Flannelcasts. Jesse teaches everyone how to reconstruct the climate from 100 million years ago using soils, Chris tries to dominate the conversation, and Steve lays down the law.

This episode is the first of 3 shorts featuring each of the Flannelcasters area of research and expertise. This dose of the Flannelcast features Chris Seminack giving a low down on hurricanes, barrier islands, and why New Orleans is has a real issue with sea-level rise. As per the norm, antics ensue and Steve gives his 2 cents about getting sand in your bathing suit.
