Episode 15 - "If it didn't, that seismometer probably wasn't working" The Nepal Earthquake

This week we are joined by a guest co-host in Shannon’s absence. Matt Herman talks to us about the recent earthquake in Nepal. We had to record in an empty classroom, so sorry about the audio quality. We’ll be back to our normal location and setup next week!
