USGS Podcast
I wasn’t aware of this, but the USGS has a podcast! Called CoreCast, they publish new episodes at least once every few weeks (and sometimes more often). The latest episode (#35), is titled Dramatic Developments at Kilauea Volcano and was posted this morning. This podcast coincides with a recent press release about increased activity on the volcano. Check it out!
I’ve linked to a copy of the latest podcast below.

I’ve actually thought of trying to put together a geology podcast featuring a panel of various folks throughout the geoblogosphere and talking about recent developments in the earth sciences (similar to This Week in Tech podcasts). It could be interesting, though I’m not sure how much demand there would be for it.
Interestingly enough, there is a podcast named “The Geologic Podcast,” though as far as I can tell, it has very little to do with geology, or even science for that matter.

I intended to have a geo podcast as part of goodSchist. I’ve even got the domain name podclast.com. If you need people for a panel, let me know, I’m still very interested in getting one going. We could even do a monthly thing like the accretionary wedge. I’ve just made a post asking for interested people to step forth: http://www.goodschist.com/2008/03/27/the-pod-clast-is-anyone-interested/
The Geologic Podcast is by a musician called George Hrab, and it’s pretty funny despite the misleading name. I highly recommend it.
Dave,
Thanks for the mentioning CoreCast—we’re glad you found it. We’re working in new stuff all the time and would love to have your input on topics or any other comments or questions you might have. Drop us a line at corecast@usgs.gov, or submit a question for CoreFacts, our quick, daily science Q&A podcast, at http://www.usgs.gov/corefacts. Thanks!
Hello Gents-
Here at Geologic HQ, we thought we might run into this one of these days. Although it’s true the Geologic Podcast isn’t about rocks, per se, and it’s true that George Hrab is a singer-songwriter, it’s also true he’s an enormous science geek and has actually lectured on related topics. You might get a kick out of his show devoted entirely to “Occasional Songs for the Periodic Table”. It’s at geologicpodcast.com and an abbreviated link is:http://is.gd/L8x
cheers,
Ms. Information for the Geologic Universe
