Attributes, Anomalies & Unicorns....wait, what?
Two geophysicists with PhDs, a love of unicorns, and zero filter sit down to talk science. Hosted by Dr. Heather Bedle and Dr. April Moreno-Ward, the podcast blends rigorous geoscience with unfiltered curiosity. Conversations start sensible, take unpredictable detours, and somehow land back on geology. It's not a lecture but a conversation for seasoned geoscientists, curious students, or anyone who stumbles in.

Drama Queens of the Subsurface
Seismic attributes have personalities.

Amplitude is the colleague who says nothing for a year and then changes everything. Cosine
How in the World Did We End Up Here?
We start the way all good science should start — with a personality quiz. From there, Dr. Heather Bedle and Dr. April Moreno-Ward introduce themselves the way they'd actually want to be introduced (no CVs, no titles, just the real version), trace the surprisingly winding roads that led two curious humans to geophysics, and somehow end up talking about why seismic data can be genuinely, unexpectedl
