I figure out a long time ago that, if you hang around people who are smarter than you, itβs amazing what you learn. Thatβs one of the reasons I accept an offer from a man I share a small office with after I move to Alabama in 1982 to work in broadcasting in Birmingham. Years later, my office mate has a vision. Meteorologist James Spann asks me to help produce and host a new podcast he wants to start. And so, in 2006, I help with launching WeatherBrains. Podcasts are not very common then. In fact, the word βpodcastβ is new to a lot of folks. Every week, James and other meteorologists gather Monday evenings on line to talk about all things weather. 
We record the shows and place them in front of the world. Guest interviews become the norm. 
The people we interview range from folks youβve never heard of to some of the biggest names in meteorology. We have a blast doing the show while the audience starts growing. People start checking in, not just from the US, but from all over the world.
Who could guess in 2006 that–nineteen years later, this past Monday night–WeatherBrains would produce show number 1,000! To celebrate, Baron Weather of Huntsville graciously hosts the WeatherBrains crew for a live broadcast of Episode 1000. 
Ben Luna with fellow members of the group Tennessee Valley Weather play a huge role by helping produce the live feed. For me, itβs a real honor to be asked to join the crew as they look back at scores of amazing stories and events the show brings to listeners. 
Thereβs no other show like WeatherBrains. The show manages to achieve a mix of being insightful, humorous and generally unpredictable, since nobody knows whoβs going to say what. You can check out an episode by searching for WeatherBrains on YouTube. 
Colleen and I have a wonderful time seeing the old crew Monday night and catching up, as well as getting to meet the current members who join after my years on the show.
I am so grateful to have been given the chance by James to help the show get its start. 
There’s more work involved in producing than you might think, but it’s extremely rewarding and fun. How many podcasts do you hear about these days that produce one thousand episodes? Thatβs a badge James and the rest of the WeatherBrains crew get to wear proudly…
