What is it about Weather Podcasts? Wait... Mark, what are you doing here?? On this episode of Weatherhype, we are joined by Mark Jelinek (the host of the fantastic weather podcast: What is it About the Weather?) to discuss podcasting as a story-telling medium, NOAA's Weather Ready Nation initiative, and the future of weather podcasting. Mark conducted a small study with some of the weather podcast's audiences to ask: Are we, the podcast hosts, being good Weather Ready Nation Ambassadors? You'll have to check out the episode to find out! Our usually shenanigans are back, and don't forget our Songs of the Week! All of this and more on WeatherHype! Don't forget that National Weather Podcast Month is coming up in March!
