Our memories of D-Day usually center on the courage and grit of the infantrymen who stormed the Normandy beaches under German fire. We don't talk much about the weatherman. But without Group Captain James Stagg's forecast, there would have been few heroes to remember from June 6, 1944. In this episode, historian William Hitchcock discusses the riveting new film "Pressure," about the excruciating hours before General Eisenhower greenlit Operation Overlord. Audio excerpts of "Pressure" are from Focus Features. Recommended reading: The Bitter Road to Freedom: A New History of the Liberation of Europe by William Hitchcock

Guest: Adam Fouche, University of GeorgiaWhen you head to a big football game or an outdoor concert, you're probably thinking about the music, the crowd, and the excitement in the air. But behind the scenes, there's another team hard at work — one that's watching the skies. From lightning delays to fast-moving thunderstorms, weather can quickly turn a packed stadium or festival into a serious safety challenge. Protecting tens of thousands of people requires careful planning, constant monitoring, and sometimes very quick decisions. Today we're joined by Adam Fouche, Interim Associate Vice President for Environmental Safety, Risk, and Resiliency at the University of Georgia. His team works behind the scenes to help keep major events — from concerts to packed game days — safe when the weather takes a turn.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Background00:53 Adam Fouche's Weather Geek Origin Story02:45 Adam's Role in Weather Safety at UGA04:09 Weather Safety in Large Campus Events07:09 Weather Risk Assessment for Events10:22 Lightning Protocols and the 8-Mile Rule12:57 Debate on Lightning Delay Rules13:44 Break 115:15 Weather Support Models at SEC Schools18:01 Collaboration with National Weather Service20:04 Communication Strategies for Weather Risks21:59 Psychology of Weather Risk Perception25:01 Venue Design and Weather Vulnerabilities26:07 Break 226:38 Understanding Severe vs. Non-Severe Weather30:09 Technology and Weather Monitoring Tools33:33 Public Safety Advice for Weather PreparednessSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guest: Jordan HallStorm chasing has always lived right at the edge—part science, part instinct, and part, let's be honest… a little bit of chaos. But these days, it's not just about being in the right place at the right time—it's also about capturing it, sharing it, and bringing people along for the ride in real time. Today on Weather Geeks, we're talking with storm chaser Jordan Hall—someone who's spent countless hours on the road tracking down everything from classic supercells to high-risk, high-reward setups… all while navigating what it means to be a storm chaser in the age of social media. We'll get into some of his wildest chase stories, the decisions that matter most when things get intense, and how storm chasing is evolving in a world where your next viral video might be just one tornado away.Chapters00:00 The Thrill of Storm Chasing10:01 From Hobby to Career: The Journey of a Storm Chaser16:17 Break 120:10 Navigating the Challenges of Storm Chasing23:03 Break 229:22 Navigating Personal Safety29:59 The Role of Social Media in Storm Chasing30:35 Pressure and Competition in Storm Chasing32:06 Impact of Social Media on Storm Chasing34:42 International Storm Chasing Adventures36:55 Choosing Which Storms to Chase38:06 Awe-Inspiring Natural Phenomena39:39 Unique Chase Stories40:09 The Intersection of Storm Chasing and First Response44:32 Challenges of Chaser Convergence48:01 The Storm Chasing Community49:59 Advice for Aspiring Storm ChasersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Meteorologists expect not only that an El Niño warming pattern will emerge this year, but also that it will be one of the strongest on record. And, José Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, Spain's prime minister from 2004 to 2011, has been charged with influence peddling in the controversial rescue of an airline partly owned by government officials in Venezuela. Also, during a legislative session in Jamaica last week, a lawmaker used Jamaican Patois — also known as Jamaican — and caused quite a stir.

What killed Kyle Busch? The sudden death of the NASCAR star at just 41 years old is sending shockwaves across the country. Now we're hearing the 911 call placed the day before his death. As Ann Mercogliano reports, the caller says Busch was on the bathroom floor coughing up blood. And friends and family of an elderly couple are in shock. The couple was found dead in their home. Cops say it was a murder suicide. In their final days they had been scammed out of tens of thousands of dollars. The wife thought she was helping Blue Bloods star Tom Selleck, but it was actually someone pretending to be the actor, and she was scammed. The sheriff's office tells us there is no evidence at this time that the scammer pretending to be Tom Selleck was directly involved in the couple's death. Plus, AAA predicts a record 45 million Americans are traveling this Memorial Day weekend. But are you ready to board a plane or get in your car for a road trip? Meteorologists warn it will be a washout for much of the country. Alison Hall has what you need to know. And today a seven year old daredevil became the youngest person ever to scale the famous El Capitan summit. It's no wonder his name is Joey Danger.

Guest: Dr. Michael Pritchard, Director of Climate Simulation ResearchWhen we think about climate models, we often picture supercomputers humming away in government labs or university basements. But increasingly, some of the most powerful tools shaping the future of climate science are coming from an unexpected place — Silicon Valley. Today, we're joined by Dr. Michael Pritchard, Director of Climate Simulation Research at NVIDIA. Yes, that NVIDIA — the company known for powering gaming, AI, and some of the world's fastest computing systems. But behind the scenes, NVIDIA is helping drive a revolution in climate and Earth system modeling, using advanced GPUs and machine learning to build faster, higher-resolution simulations of our planet. In this episode, we'll explore how artificial intelligence is reshaping climate science, what it takes to simulate Earth in unprecedented detail, and why the future of forecasting may depend as much on silicon as it does on physics.Chapters00:00 Introduction to AI in Weather and Climate Modeling03:21 Understanding NVIDIA's Role in Climate Simulation05:34 The Motivation Behind Earth Simulation07:40 AI vs Traditional Weather Modeling Techniques11:10 Addressing Concerns About AI in Weather Forecasting13:49 Break 114:19 The Earth 2 Project and Its Implications18:37 Open Source Weather Models and Their Importance23:33 Exploring GPUs and Their Role in AI24:51 Stormscope: A New Era in Nowcasting28:55 AI and Machine Learning in Mesoscale Forecasting31:48 Break 232:15 Ensuring Ethical AI in Weather Forecasting35:31 The Future of AI in Climate ModelingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President Trump arrived in Beijing for a high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Aamer Madhani from the Associated Press is there. Trump said he wants to suspend the federal gas tax but it will take an act of Congress to make that happen. Politico’s Andy Picon joins to discuss why some lawmakers are hesitant. Meteorologists say a super El Niño could hit the globe this year. Ben Noll of The Washington Post explains what scientist have learned from past El Niño events.

Jack Daniel's is only a numbing agent. It doesn't fix the pain; it just gives you a headache in the morning while the problem remains. Most high-performing men are "white-knuckling" their way through life, relying on a brand of strength that has no spiritual depth. They are mission-driven and overworked, yet secretly isolated. In this forensic identity audit, Ted Phaëton sits down with Chris Grainger, founder of The Lion Within Us, to dismantle the "Chief Everything Officer" trap. Chris reveals the exact moment his "white-knuckle" strength failed him, following a failed marriage and the tragic loss of his daughter, and explains why your ego is currently your biggest operational liability. We deconstruct the "Meteorologist" archetype of predictive leadership and why modern men must stop "outsourcing" their spiritual authority to AI or institutions. If you are a CEO, father, or leader who feels "successful" on paper but hollow in reality, this conversation is your diagnostic tool for reclamation.   In this episode, we deconstruct: The Identity Forensic Audit: Why your body breaks before your ego does. The 3 Most Dangerous Words: Why saying "I got this" is actually a rejection of God. The Feminization of the Church: Why traditional spiritual settings are failing the modern man. The Windshield Principle: How to stop living in the "rear-view mirror" of your past failures.

GUEST: Allison BegalmanHollywood is known for big ideas, big creativity, and big storytelling — but in recent years, one of the biggest forces reshaping the industry isn't a genre or a trend… it's the climate crisis. And at the center of that movement is Allison Begalman. As the co-founder of the Hollywood Climate Summit, Allison has built a space where filmmakers, writers, activists, scientists, and executives come together to ask a simple but powerful question: What if the stories we tell could help shape a more sustainable future? Today, we're diving into how she's mobilizing the entertainment world to take climate action seriously — not just in documentaries or disaster films, but in the everyday narratives that reach millions.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Climate Crisis in Hollywood03:53 The Birth of the Hollywood Climate Summit10:29 Barriers to Climate Storytelling13:25 Break 114:23 Climate-Informed Storytelling vs. Climate-Themed Content19:57 Successful Examples of Climate Storytelling24:44 The Role of Social Media in Climate Advocacy24:52 Break 229:18 Measuring Impact in Climate Storytelling31:37 Future Vision for the Hollywood Climate SummitSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ian Schwartz joined Bruce & Gaydos to discuss the extreme heat in the Phoenix-area.

Minnesota officials are forecasting air quality issues this summer due to wildfire smoke and high ozone levels. Meteorologists with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency say drought conditions are increasing the risk of wildfires and they're expecting 12 to 16 days of smoky air this summer. And a Minneapolis man pleaded guilty this morning to spraying vinegar on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar earlier this year. Those stories and more in today's evening update from MPR News. Hosted by Emily Reese. Music by Gary Meister.

A weather forecast can shape your whole day — from what to wear and when to exercise, to whether to make dinner plans for the patio. And when severe weather is on the horizon, those forecasts and warnings can save lives. So how do meteorologists get it right? And why do forecasts sometimes miss the mark?MPR News host Angela Davis sits down with MPR News meteorologist Mandy Thalhuber to talk about what goes into accurate forecasting, the impact of cuts to the National Weather Service and what makes the work so rewarding.Guest: Mandy Thalhuber is a meteorologist at MPR News, where her forecasts and weather insights can be heard on the radio and found online at Updraft. Before joining MPR News in 2024, she worked at Weatherology, providing local weather forecasts for radio stations across the country.

June Gloom comes a bit early this yearToday we'll take a look at a regular but not always welcome Pacific Northwest springtime phenomenon: The pervasive “June Gloom,” when that cool hazy marine layer shows up, and stays.So our weather is cool but not cold, not really sunny (but sometimes kind of sunny) but not raining either. It's what happens this time of year.Meteorologists call it June Gloom, and this year it showed up a bit early.

Guest: Max Van Wyk De Vries, Assistant Professor at the University of CambridgeFrom wildfires sparking power outages, to hurricanes triggering chemical spills, today's disasters rarely unfold in isolation. They cascade, compound, and collide — creating challenges far more complex than any single hazard on its own. At the University of Cambridge, the Complex and Multihazard Research Group is leading the charge to better understand these interconnected risks, and to help communities, governments, and industries prepare for a more uncertain world. In this episode, we sit down with the program head of the group Max Van Wyk De Vries to explore how their research is reshaping the way we think about hazards, resilience, and the future of global risk.Chapters00:00 Understanding Complex and Multi-Hazard Risks10:47 The Role of Human Activity in Natural Hazards14:04 Break 119:24 Techniques and Methodologies in Hazard Research23:41 Break 229:24 Future Challenges and Opportunities in Multi-Hazard Risk ManagementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
