The Actual Rock Show
Hero Bain
Back episodes of The Actual Rock Show, originally broadcast on CamFM. A show dedicated solely to geological fun, fails, and flights of fancy. Join me, Hero Bain, a part III student in the department of Earth sciences at the University of Cambridge, as each week I interview a different fellow master's student about their life in and love for geology! The images accompanying each episode are available on our Facebook page (Actual Rock Show). Music referenced in the original show has been removed for copyright purposes, but feel free to check out the songs for yourself.
The Actual Mental Health Show (Rock Edition)
A bonus episode produced as part of Cam FM's 24-hour Charity Broadcast "Mind Map" to raise money for Student Minds. Join some old (and new) voices for a chat about our experiences with mental health and Earth sciences, and some chill evening music. Originally broadcast at midnight on 20/3/21

"The poster-child of fossils"
This week I talk to Laura Spencer about using isotopes to understand the very start of the continents, scrambling up scree slopes, and the beauty of rocks under the microscope. Expect tales of fieldwork in France, musings on "the poster-child of fossils" and, of course, a whole bucket-load of geology. Originally broadcast 6/2/21

"Apparently it rains diamonds"
This week I talk to Peter Methley about shiny shells and fools gold, the mysteries of the mantle, and a certain planet where "apparently it rains diamonds". Expect tales of fieldwork fun and failure, plenty of very pretty things and, of course, a whole bucket-load of geology. Originally broadcast 23/1/21
