What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast has helped me realize my interest in geology as a non academic. My adhd kept me from a career in science but I’ve always loved geology. This podcast has rescued me from politics and has greatly improved my mental health. Thank you Nick! Hopefully I can sit in on one of your classes someday!

I first saw Prof. Zentner on his PBS show Nick on the Rocks. I’ve watched all those numerous times and had to find more. I never cared about geology before in my 60+ years. I’m now getting obsessed. I’m not much of a YouTuber, but Dr. Zentner is a good reason to change that. Thank you for teaching me to care about your science. It really enhances my Outdoor life here in WA. Excellent podcast! I enjoy listening. Love the PBS work. See you on YouTube.

I took a tangent from Geology in college and listening to Mr. Zentner makes me truly regret that decision. I love the content and love the info about PNW geological events. I stay close to this podcast app waiting for the next episode!

I first found Nick on YouTube and really enjoyed his videos and watched them more than once. Love the storytelling style of teaching, and easy to follow explanations. Thanks for not having ads!
