The Geotechnical Engineering Podcast

Jared M. Green is a principal at Langan Engineering, a Distinguished Member of the Geo-Institute, an ASCE Fellow, and an award-winning geotechnical practice leader, and he brings that depth of specialized experience to every episode of this podcast. Produced through Anthony Fasano's Engineering Management Institute, The Geotechnical Engineering Podcast is one of the few shows dedicated entirely to the geotechnical subdiscipline. Episodes feature interviews with geotechnical engineers, researchers, and project leaders covering topics like large-diameter foundation design, energy foundations, ground anchor systems, unsaturated soil mechanics, geosynthetics, dynamic compaction, earthquake engineering, and spatial uncertainty modeling. Green asks the kinds of technical questions that only someone deeply familiar with the field would think to raise, and guests respond with detailed discussions of specific projects, design approaches, and construction challenges. The show also covers career development topics tailored to geotechnical engineers -- how to balance technical work with project management, leadership development within specialty firms, and navigating the PE licensure process for geotechnical practice. Recent episodes have featured discussions of mega infrastructure projects like the Gateway Tunnel and advances in pavement design and rehabilitation. Episodes typically run 25 to 40 minutes. The podcast fills a niche that general civil engineering shows cannot -- the geotechnical world has its own vocabulary, its own code requirements, and its own career paths, and this show speaks directly to that community. For anyone working in foundations, soil mechanics, or subsurface engineering, it is one of the only dedicated audio resources available.
