  • Beneath the Crust: The World of Volcanoes
    Sep 9 2025

    Volcanoes have shaped our landscapes, our history, and even life itself. In this episode of The Tilted Planet Podcast, we journey deep into the fiery heart of Earth to uncover the science, power, and mystery behind these awe-inspiring forces of nature.

    From the explosive eruptions that changed civilizations to the quiet giants that continue to reshape coastlines, we’ll explore how volcanoes form, why they erupt, and the myths and legends they’ve inspired. Along the way, we’ll look at some of the world’s most famous volcanoes from Italy’s Vesuvius to Iceland’s Eyjafjallajökull, and the lessons they’ve taught us about living on a restless planet.

    Join me as we peel back the layers beneath the crust and tilt our perspective on the powerful world of volcanoes!
