The Gaia Update is a (almost) weekly short news podcast on what the earth has been up to. It focuses on the three big natural disaster types: Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tsunamis, but also highlights other geology and earth science related news and research.

This is a special two topic episode covering the ongoing volcanic unrest at Bardarbunga in Iceland, and the M6.0 earthquake outside of  Napa California.
