Undersampled Radio is easy to access through several platforms, ensuring that you can enjoy the world of geoscience anytime, anywhere:

  • iTunes: Simply subscribe via the app on your Apple device for a seamless listening experience;
  • Google Play Music: For Android enthusiasts, subscribing through Google Play Music is your best bet;
  • UndersampledRad.io: The dedicated website and RSS feed for the podcast, offering an extensive collection of informative episodes.

The Voices Behind Undersampled Radio

Undersampled Radio broadcasts the combined wisdom of New Orleans-based geophysicist Graham Ganssle and a team of experienced hosts. However, the spotlight doesn’t always shine on the hosts alone. The show often welcomes renowned guests like geophysicists Mika McKinnon and Maitri Erwin, geologist Chris Jackson, and geopressure expert, Mark Tingay. These sessions are typically recorded live every few weeks via Google Hangouts on Air. Ganssle regularly posts the link to these sessions, show notes, and related details in the Software Underground ‘#undersampled’ channel.

It’s fascinating to realize how things connect organically in what can only be described as a nonlinear and highly improbable way. These pseudoconnections, as they’re known, are the best kind of connections, drawing together unique elements in unexpected ways.

Another Podcast Worth tuning into: Don’t Panic Geocast

Tied loosely to Software Underground is another incredible podcast – the Don’t Panic Geocast, hosted by John Leeman and Shannon Dulin. The ‘#dontpanic’ channel in Software Underground keeps listeners updated with their latest broadcasts. The Don’t Panic Geocast is well worth your time, and to get you started, here’s an episode recorded in collaboration with Undersampled Radio.

Don’t have a full hour to spare? No worries, here’s a smaller clip from the show to give you a taste of what to expect. The clip begins with John Leeman explaining the concept of Fun Paper Friday, and later shifts to a passionate discussion about conferences.

It’s worth noting that while the hosts are involved in both projects, neither is explicitly tied to Agile, a firm focused on delivering geological training and advice. While the hosts contribute to both endeavors, it’s important to dispel any misconceptions – Agile is not a podcast company, at least not for now.

Conclusion

In summary, this discourse serves as a beacon for enthusiasts and professionals in geoscience and subsurface engineering with a penchant for technology. By embracing the insights and offerings shared within these pages, you stand at the threshold of enriching your expertise and potentially transforming your professional landscape. Let these revelations be a source of inspiration and innovation, encouraging you to explore and apply these concepts judiciously in your endeavors. Remember, the journey of discovery is as rewarding as the destination itself, so take these treasures to heart, applying them thoughtfully as you advance in your field.
