    I’ve survived a tornado at age 8 and three hurricanes as an adult. But it was only after finding this extraordinary podcast that I fully realized how engrossing and relevant weather and climate studies are. Thank you for your lively expert programming and commitment to public safety. This is a fascinating “must-listen” for me.
