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 it ruined our recording (technologically speaking. The show was already destined for ruin because of our choice in hosts). Win7 not withstanding our editor has managed to stitch together a hilarious bloopers reel of an episode where you'll find industry news and UR forecasting. To skip the fluff, chew on these show notes.

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 mouth, the highlights of Chris' extensive work, and the state of the British academic system in the face of Brexit. We've also condensed our nonsensical musings in to a set of show notes here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1VxvMedaIm6qCsko3ssTk_Nh2B-gTadM-eE2lFoWc-IU

Welcome to the new(ish) Undersampled Radio. We've graduated to a new home at undersampledrad.io! Don't expect our content to get cleverer, our wit to get sharper, or our hosts to get handsomer, but you can expect a website with less bugs because gram isn't writing it himself anymore. Yahtzee. 

Our amazing guest this week is Maitri Erwin, doer of things, maker of change, creator of awesome. She's doing the geo world a huge service as chair of the SEG Women's Network. She's doing the literary world a huge service as a board member of Gutenberg. She's doing the creative world a huge service by approaching art with a scientific process. Check out the show notes for the deets.

This week we've got Dr. Gerard Gorman on the show. Gerard is a physicist with a skill set for problem solving. Not only does he know how to make computers do the hard work for him, he also knows how to get students to do the hard work for him. So tune in to learn how to retire early and live the good life while man and machine does your bidding. For an amazingly extensive set of show notes (Gerard wrote most of them, so there's informative content there this week) click me.

The Undersampled Radio crew meets their digital maker this week. Rowan Cockett is a hardcore digital maker, whom we're happy to have interviewed. Learn about an infinitesimal fraction of his many cool projects this week. There are links in the show notes to a couple of these fun toys. Also tune in for another intro from Matt and hear Graham finally say something about current events!

Breaking news!!! There was a geo conference in Vienna a couple of weeks ago. Listen to matt's conference report, GRAM discuss ideas far above his intellectual prowess, and how much coffee they both drink in the morning. Check out some light show notes here

Kaboom! We're talking mud volcanoes with Dr. Mark Tingay from all the way down under. Are mud volcanoes destructive? Do overpressured stratigraphic features present drilling challenges? Do toilets really flush the other direction in the southern hemisphere? Listen in to find out! Find show notes here

Undersampled Radio has an open sorcerer on the show! Dr. Leo Uieda just finished his Ph.D. in geophysics with a specialization in potential field methods. Find his wonderful paper on The Software Underground. Listen in as we speak with Leo about open, geo, phys, sci, compute, and Fatiando. Show notes here

Undersampled Radio gets real this week with Mika McKinnon. Mika is a disaster scientist, a science journalist, a political pundit, and a womens equality advocate. We discuss a huge range of subjects in this exanded episode, including landslides, scifi shows, and misogyny. The UR crew urges you to look Mika up online; her publications are a wealth of knowledge and creativity. Links are in the show notes here

Tune in for a good one, folks. This week we've got a real live superhero, Dr. Emily Mercurio. She's a geologist, a geophysicist, and an entrepreneur. Dr. Mercurio owns a company named Civic Mapper. They're using good will and technical prowess to assist in the solution of difficult problems, techie and humanitarian. This week's show notes are here.
