What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

You have my rapt attention every Monday evening. I first started listing just because I was interested in tornadoes but I learn something new about weather every week. The discussions are fascinating to me, no matter who the guests are.I also appreciate your levelheaded insights and knowledge. I love the non-political, comfortable, easy and humorous conversation between the regulars. And James, I bought weather radios for my family for Christmas, even though we don’t live in the Plains or Deep South (Betsy Kling is my fave where I live). Enjoy all of you so much.

I so thoroughly enjoy this podcast. I’m a truck driver and I also have a background in weather myself from the army and love listening to this as I’m traveling the states. I love all the interesting topics and funny antics that make me laugh along the way. I hope this podcast can last forever! -David W.

DavidCWatson1990 · Nov 2021

Makes me feel normal for being a weather nerd. Great guests, great hosts. The honorable James Spann with a cast ranging from Bill Murray (no not that one), Nate, and Aubrey. Guests including storm chasers, NWS employees both past and present, and those who were directly involved in the storm. I can’t recommend this enough! It’s a great watch and listen. Ps. Can Bill’s random hotel background be a cast member officially

It awsomer · Jul 2021

Love your podcasts! I grew up in Arkansas and now live in California, so I don’t get much weather here. But I use you guys to both keep me up to date and to continue to increase my knowledge of weather (I use to work as a meteorologist for air quality). I have told so many family and friends about you guys and it is typical for us to go “did you hear on Weatherbrains last week....” keep up the great work!
