In Episode 2 of On the Ground, the new podcast from Geographical, Laura Cole takes a walk through the oldest fossilised forest known on Earth
This is On The Ground, a new podcast from Geographical, written and hosted by Laura Cole. In this series, Laura will be getting out from behind her desk and on the ground, reporting from across the UK’s landscape – and speaking to the people changing it.
Coming up, we’ve got investigations into corporate wrongdoing, rural town halls holding the government to account, the human faces behind scientific breakthroughs, and even some true crime episodes.
In episode 2, Laura heads to west Somerset, where scientists Neil Davies and Will McMahon stumbled upon a surprise finding preserved in the rock.
Their discovery supports a new paradigm about the world’s oldest engineers, and may even change your mind about deep time.
