Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Severe Weather Communication & Meteorology Media with Emily Gracey
Q: What take-home message would you like to leave listeners with about meteorology and media?
Smile and be kind, listen well, and have fun; collaboration and authenticity are key to growing as a podcaster and scientist while protecting family time.
Severe Weather Communication & Meteorology Media with Emily Gracey
Q: Can you describe Off the Radar and how you decide on its themes and guests?
The show starts from new research or interesting talks, then builds a narrative around a theme, often tying in current events or historical stories to make complex subjects accessible and emotionally resonant.
Severe Weather Communication & Meteorology Media with Emily Gracey
Q: What sparked your interest in the field of meteorology?
A love for math and science sparked by the popular culture of the 90s, with Twister as inspiration; this led to studying meteorology and pursuing broadcasting to combine science with storytelling.
A Lifetime Behind the Camera: True Stories with Photojournalist and Videographer Austin Anderson Part 2
Q: Could you paint for us the picture of covering the El Reno tornado, where you were, who you were with, and what happened?
We were in a caravan with a satellite truck and a meteorologist; as the tornado approached, a sub-vortex lifted our vehicle, debris shattered the car, and we were briefly airborne before crashing and surviving with injuries. The incident underscored both the dangers of chasing and the immediacy of documenting events from within the storm.
How AI & Predictive Tech Are Transforming Wildfire Protection with Sunny Sethi
Q: How do you envision the future of fire defense in the next 10-15 years?
Everything will be connected—from hydrants to water purveyors to home defense—allowing control and suppression before a fire becomes a mega-fire, with AI models learning and improving over time.
