This week we've got Dr. Amy Fox on the show. She's a brilliant scientist who specializes in geomechanics (if that's called a geomechanitian does that mean matt and GRAM can call themselves geophysicians?). Listen up as she discusses geomechanics from...
This week Graham's half asleep or something and can't formulate a coherent sentence! If you can stand to listen to it you'll hear about the new UR tech, why football is really football (not soccer), and a small bit about...
Jesper Dramsch snuggles up with Undersampled Radio this week from a warm cottage in Copenhagen. Presumably his pillow laden home smells of warm apple pie and fire roasted chestnuts. But that's just our best guess, I mean, we only got...
This week's guest was unable to join due to the flooding in Louisiana and Texas, so instead of hearing her brilliant insights you'll have to listen to Matt and Graham attempt to figure out why Win7 is garbage. Answer: because...
Dr. Chris Jackson joins us this week. He's an awesome geodude playing with rocks and computers! He's an academic powerhouse teaching at Imperial, and he's got a company working with geological modeling via machine learning. Tune in to hear Matt's potty...
