Guest: Kevin RothWe all love to think that the outcome of a game comes down to talent, strategy, and maybe a little luck. But there's another player on the field that nobody can control: the weather. Wind can turn a routine fly ball into an adventure, heat and humidity can test athletes and fans, and a thunderstorm can send an entire stadium scrambling for cover. So how much can weather actually influence the game—and what should fans know before they head to the stadium? Today, we're talking to Kevin Roth, a sports meteorologist who lives right at the intersection of weather and sports. We'll talk about forecasting for different sports, how weather affects performance and strategy, and how fans can be better prepared for whatever Mother Nature throws their way.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Kevin Roth and sports meteorology01:57 How Kevin Rxoth became a weather geek and his background03:49 The intersection of weather and sports forecasting07:52 Data analysis in sports weather forecasting12:04 Challenges of using weather data for player-specific insights12:39 Break 112:40 Impact of stadium microclimates and venue design19:48 Weather's influence on game strategy and player performance23:57 Weather considerations in sports betting and fantasy sports24:40 Break 224:41 Adapting forecasts for severe weather and safety concerns32:02 Career advice for aspiring sports meteorologists35:46 Future of weather forecasting in sports and technology advancementsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guest: Dr. Stephen Nesbitt Five years ago, Dr. Steve Nesbitt joined us to unpack the fundamentals of radar meteorology. Since then, atmospheric science has undergone a massive evolution moving from how we capture severe weather to how we decode it using artificial intelligence and cloud computing. As a UIUC Professor, incoming Associate Dean, and newly named AMS Fellow, Steve has spent his career studying Earth's most explosive storms. Today, he's leading a new frontier in meteorology, building open-source tools like Radar DataTree to turn decades of legacy radar files into AI-ready intelligence. We're sitting down with Steve to catch up on what's changed since his last visit, how AI is reshaping weather science, and the physics behind the Midwest's wild tornado season.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Guest Background01:05 How Dr. Nesbitt Became a Weather Geek03:59 AI's Impact on Meteorology and Weather Resilience06:57 Recent Tornado Trends in Illinois and the Midwest09:58 Break 109:59 Remote Sensing Technologies in Severe Weather Study15:35 Introduction to Radar Data Tree and Its Applications20:53 Stakeholder Engagement: Insurance and Water Resources22:08 Current Research Projects and Urban Resilience26:17 Break 226:17 Future Advances in Satellite and Radar Technology29:18 Climate Change and Severe Weather Patterns32:57 The Evolving Role of Academics in Public Engagement35:51 Resources and Final ThoughtsResourcesAtmosScale.ai - https://atmoscale.aiEd Zipser - Google Scholar - https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0,11&qsp=5&q=edward+zipser&qst=ibRelampago Project - https://journals.ametsoc.org/view/journals/bams/102/8/BAMS-D-20-0029.1.xmlRadar Data Tree - https://atmoscale.github.io/radar-datatree/index.htmlNASA Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission - https://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov Guest linksLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/steve-nesbitt-b8a06a54See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The United Red Storm host the Abingdon-Avon Tornadoes for Homecoming.

The soundboard was dripping water. Apparently, the band was still supposed to play.Mike Schulte of The Pork Tornadoes and the Confused Breakfast podcast joins Dan with a gig story that stands out after roughly 1,300 shows—and for all the wrong reasons. A sudden storm drenched the gear and shut down the night before the band could play. According to Mike, what followed included an angry confrontation, a passive-aggressive load-out soundtrack, and people booing musicians who were trying to get their equipment out of the venue.Dan and Mike unpack the business side of a rainout: what the band's contract covered, why the work starts long before the first song, and how a reasonable conversation might have preserved a working relationship. They also look at their own preparation and what could be handled differently next time. Nobody controls the weather. Everybody has some control over how they treat people.Before the storm story, Mike shares how he's using a 360 camera for both The Pork Tornadoes and Confused Breakfast—from capturing concert footage to filming an interview at the Goonies house without hauling an entire camera department along.In this episode: Moving 360-camera footage versus static camera angles. (link: https://www.insta360.com/sal/x6?utm_source=AffiliateCenter&utm_medium=copylink&utm_term=INRSG0CFLEV) Capturing the crowd and blending camera audio with a board feed. Using one camera to create multiple interview angles. A surprise storm, soaked equipment, and a show that couldn't happen. Payment expectations when a band has done everything except perform. Weather preparation, de-escalation, and knowing when a working relationship is finished. Check out Mike with The Pork Tornadoes and on Confused Breakfast.Rock more. Suck less. Keep the load-out playlist civil.

Guest: Dr. Samantha MontanoWhen a disaster strikes, most of us focus on what we can see: the storm, the wildfire, the flood, or the earthquake. But what if the real story begins long before the event—and continues long after the headlines fade? Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Samantha Montano, a disaster researcher, author, and one of the leading voices helping the public better understand how disasters actually work. Through her work in "Disasterology," she examines the systems, decisions, and vulnerabilities that can turn natural hazards into human disasters—and what we can do to build more resilient communities. We'll talk about some of the biggest misconceptions surrounding disasters, why recovery is often the most overlooked phase of the disaster cycle, and how individuals, communities, and leaders can better prepare for the challenges that come before, during, and after a crisis.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Disasterology and Dr. Montano01:05 How Disasterology Became a Field02:07 The Human Side of Disasters03:36 Disaster Research and Human Responsibility05:08 The Role of Community and Leadership07:10 Impact of Physical and Social Vulnerability09:16 Training and Roles of Emergency Managers11:50 Public Misconceptions and Personal Responsibility13:51 Communication Strategies During Disasters14:29 Break 114:30 Recovery Challenges and Success Factors18:49 Community Leadership in Recovery22:24 Social Media and Disaster Communication26:19 The Future of Disaster Communication28:51 Break 228:51 Increasing Costs of Disasters and Communication36:16 Building Resilient Communities39:01 The Future of Disaster Management41:03 Optimism and the Next Generation of Emergency ManagersResourcesBook - Disasterology: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Climate CrisisDr. Samantha Montano - Website - https://disaster-ology.comFEMA - Federal Emergency Management Agency - https://www.fema.govGuest linksInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/samlmontano/Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/samlmontano.bsky.socialSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guest: Mike OlbinskiFor most people, a thunderstorm is something you watch from a window. But for storm chasers, it's a front-row seat to some of nature's most spectacular displays—and few have captured those moments as beautifully as today's guest. On this episode of Weather Geeks, we're joined by storm chaser and filmmaker Mike Olbinski. Based in the Desert Southwest, Mike has spent years documenting everything from towering monsoon thunderstorms and dramatic haboobs to lightning-filled skies across the Great Plains, creating breathtaking imagery that has inspired weather enthusiasts around the world. We'll talk about what makes chasing storms in Arizona so unique, some of the unforgettable moments he's experienced on the road, and how the art of storm storytelling has evolved alongside advances in cameras, social media, and live streaming.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Mike Olbinski and his work13:38 Break 113:39 How technology has changed storm chasing24:38 Break 224:40 Advances in weather models and forecasting26:53 Mobile connectivity and Starlink for storm chasing28:22 Apps and tools for real-time weather data28:45 Use of drones in storm photography29:45 Carving out a niche in storm photography30:22 Advice for aspiring storm chasers and photographers32:34 Platforms to follow Mike Olbinski33:24 Closing remarks and upcoming projectsResourcesStorm Photo Contests - https://stormphotocontest.com/Stormchaser Atlas App - https://stormchaseratlas.com/Weatherfront App - https://weatherfront.com/ Guest linksInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mikeolbinski/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/mikeolbinskiSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guest: Dr. Dillon AmayaThe Pacific Ocean covers nearly a third of our planet, and yet some of its most important changes happen far from shore and often out of sight. But whether it's a developing El Niño, a cooling La Niña, or an expansive marine heat wave, what happens in the Pacific can influence weather, ecosystems, and communities around the world. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dillon Amaya, whose research focuses on the complex relationship between the ocean and the atmosphere. We'll explore the growing scientific interest in Pacific marine heat waves, what we've learned from some of the most notable events in recent years, and how these episodes can ripple through both weather and climate systems.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Marine Heat Waves02:32 Dylan Amaya's Journey into Meteorology05:34 Understanding Marine Heat Waves08:48 Marine Heat Waves vs. Ocean Warming11:38 Impact of Marine Heat Waves on Weather13:37 Break 113:39 Marine Heat Waves and El Niño17:45 Causes and Effects of Marine Heat Waves20:54 Ocean Temperature Changes and Jet Stream Dynamics22:11 Marine Heat Waves and Climate Variability23:59 Ecosystem Impacts of Marine Heat Waves25:41 Coral Reefs and Marine Heat Waves27:17 Global Hot Spots for Marine Heat Waves28:05 Break 228:06 Understanding Atlantic Niña and Its Effects30:32 European Heat Waves and Ocean Anomalies31:37 Surprising Discoveries in Marine Heat Wave Research34:13 Climate Change and Ocean Temperature Trends36:22 Future Research Directions in Marine Heat Waves37:41 Machine Learning in Marine Heat Wave ForecastingResourcesNOAA PSL Marine Heat Waves Forecast System - https://psl.noaa.gov/marine-heatwaves/NOAA Ocean Temperature Monitoring - https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/GODAS/El Nino and La Nina Explained - NOAA - https://oceantoday.noaa.gov/elninolanina/Marine Blob Tracker - NOAA - https://www.integratedecosystemassessment.noaa.gov/regions/california-current/california-current-marine-heatwave-tracker-blobtrackerScripps Institution of Oceanography - https://scripps.ucsd.edu/Guest linksLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/dillon-j-amaya-2bb2a892Twitter - https://twitter.com/dillonamayaNorth Carolina State University - Dillon Amaya Profile - https://meas.sciences.ncsu.edu/people/djamaya/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/daily-devotions/20260901dev.mp3 Listen to Devotion For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed . . . the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Romans 8:19,22 Creation Can’t Wait Have you ever noticed how often the world reminds us that something isn’t right? Wildfires scorch forests. Tornadoes uproot trees. Droughts wither crops. Pretty soon, depending on where you live, the beauty of creation will fade with the changing seasons. Sometimes we speak of nature as though it is simply running its course. But the Bible tells us that creation is groaning. It wasn’t always this way. When God completed his work of creation, he declared that everything was “very good” (Genesis 1:31). There was no death. No decay. No storms. No disease. The world reflected the perfection of its Creator. Then Adam and Eve sinned. When humanity fell, the curse reached far beyond Adam and Eve. God said, “Cursed is the ground because of you” (Genesis 3:17). Thorns and thistles appeared. Death entered. Since then, every hurricane, every broken body, every dying tree, and every cemetery has proclaimed the same truth: sin has affected everything. Yet, there is hope. Creation is waiting for the day when Christ returns to reveal his children. The created world knows, in a way beyond our understanding, that its own freedom is tied to ours. When Jesus raises the dead and makes all things new, creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay. That means the groaning of creation is not the groan of despair but of eager expectation. Just as a mother experiences labor pains in anticipation of celebrating a new life, so does this world. Therefore, we can look at natural disasters differently. We are not left without hope. Every time we see creation suffer, we are pointed to the One who is coming to restore it. When he does, the curse will be lifted, and we will enjoy a new creation forever. Therefore, with creation, we can’t wait. Prayer: Lord Jesus, when I see the brokenness of this world, remind me that you have already conquered sin, death, and the curse. Give me confidence to endure the groaning of this present age as I wait for the glory you have promised. Amen. Daily Devotions is brought to you by WELS.

It's the home opener for the TYgers as they host the Tornadoes in week two!

Guest: Craig SetzerWhen most people think of meteorology, they think of forecasts on television, hurricane updates, or severe weather warnings. But some meteorologists work in places most of us rarely consider—guiding ships across vast oceans, helping industries make critical weather decisions, and even reconstructing past weather events to answer important questions long after the skies have cleared. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by maritime meteorologist Craig Setzer. Throughout his career, Craig has helped bridge the worlds of weather, ocean navigation, and risk management, providing forecasts and expertise for operations that depend on understanding conditions far from land. We'll explore the unique challenges of forecasting weather at sea, how the cruise industry uses meteorological information to keep passengers and crews safe, and the fascinating field of forensic meteorology—where weather data, observations, and science are used to piece together what happened during past events.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Maritime Meteorology05:31 Differences Between Maritime and TV Forecasting08:32 Cruise Industry and Weather Disruptions10:27 Operational Decisions During Hurricanes12:38 Pressure and Responsibilities of a Maritime Meteorologist15:16 Legal Considerations in Maritime Operations16:42 Other Weather Hazards in Maritime Forecasting18:55 The Impact of Meteorology on Cruise Experiences20:51 The Value of Weather in Maritime Safety21:16 Break 121:17 Introduction to Forensic Meteorology22:05 Craig Setzer's Background and Expertise23:36 Understanding Forensic Meteorology25:09 The Role of Captains and Meteorologists26:40 Clients and Cases in Forensic Meteorology28:22 Challenges in Weather Data Analysis30:28 The Importance of Buoy Data32:12 Historical Data from Ships33:38 Break 233:38 Hurricane Forecasting and the Cone39:01 Communication in Meteorology40:21 Advice for Future Meteorologists ResourcesRoyal Caribbean Group - https://www.royalcaribbean.com/NOAA Buoy Data Center - https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/Metropolitan State University of Denver - https://www.msudenver.edu/University of Oklahoma - https://www.ou.edu/ Guest linksLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/craig-setzer-ccm-03095422aTwitter - https://twitter.com/craigsetzerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The question is: what do you actually need to know before the season really ramps up? Today on Weather Geeks, we're getting a preview straight from the source. Dr. Michael Brennan, Director of the National Hurricane Center, joins us to walk through what forecasters are watching this year, how hurricane prediction continues to improve, and where the biggest challenges still remain. We'll also talk about new tools and products coming out of the National Hurricane Center, how technology is shaping the future of forecasting, and what all of this means for you when the next storm is on the horizon.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Hurricane Season and Its Impacts02:45 Understanding Tropical Storm Arthur and Its Effects05:41 El Niño's Influence on Hurricane Activity08:34 The Importance of Preparedness and Messaging11:59 Evolving Forecasting Techniques and Challenges14:15 Break 114:40 Advancements in Predictive Modeling and AI17:44 The Role of Communication in Weather Forecasting20:46 Inland Hurricane Threats and Their Impacts23:51 Future Directions in Hurricane Research and Forecasting26:54 Conclusion and Final Thoughts on Hurricane Preparedness26:58 Break 227:09 Conclusion and Final Thoughts on Hurricane PreparednesResourcesNOAA National Hurricane Center - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/Google DeepMind - https://deepmind.com/Hurricane Forecasting Models (HWRF, HAFS) - https://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/products/hwrf/Guest LinksTwitter - https://twitter.com/NHC_AtlanticLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-brennan-5a90322b2See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Tornadoes are notoriously unpredictable, making forecasting nearly impossible. But now, artificial intelligence (AI) is being used to improve forecast models. We listen to the latest story from The Allegheny Front, a public media program based in Pittsburgh, that reports on environmental issues in the region.  The post How AI May Help Predict Tornadoes, This West Virginia Morning appeared first on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

Guest: Dr. Mike Farrar, Booz Allen HamiltonWeather forecasting has come a long way—from hand-drawn maps and limited observations to a world driven by supercomputers, satellites, and real-time data. But as technology continues to evolve, so does the challenge of making forecasts faster, smarter, and more useful for the people who rely on them every day. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Dr. Mike Farrar, whose career has spanned research, operations, and leadership across the meteorological community. His company has been tasked to help modernize the National Weather Service, and with that he's helping shape what the future of forecasting could look like for both meteorologists and the public alike. We'll talk about the biggest challenges facing weather operations today, how emerging technologies like AI and cloud computing are changing the forecasting landscape, and why communication and public trust remain just as important as the science itself.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Career Background of Dr. Mike Farrar01:30 The Evolution of Weather Forecasting Technologies04:18 Transformational Advances in Meteorology09:15 The Private Sector and Meteorology's Growth12:16 Break 112:19 The Impact of AI and Cloud Computing19:28 Modernizing the National Weather Service22:55 The Role of Human Forecasters in the Age of AI26:51 Break 228:01 The North Star of Meteorology: Science and Service30:18 Skills for Future Meteorologists33:50 Embracing Change in the Meteorological Field34:29 Closing Remarks and Resources ResourcesBooz Allen Hamilton - https://www.boozallen.comNOAA's National Centers for Environmental Prediction - https://www.weather.gov/ncep/American Meteorological Society - https://www.ametsoc.orgAWIPS (Advanced Weather Information Processing System) - https://vlab.noaa.gov/web/nws-heritage/-/introducing-awipsNCAR (National Center for Atmospheric Research) - https://ncar.ucar.eduGuest linksLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/mikefarrar-wxSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Canada is on track for a historic tornado season, both when it comes to funnel clouds making land fall, and the number of warnings sent out to Canadians. Dave Sills of the Northern Tornado Project explains what's causing the summer storms, and what needs to change to make tracking them more accurate.

In the summer of 2021, southern Oregon became the battleground for one of the largest and most terrifying wildfires in American history. What began with a lightning strike near Beatty exploded into the infamous Bootleg Fire—a relentless inferno that devoured more than 413,000 acres, destroyed hundreds of structures, forced widespread evacuations, and generated its own weather as towering pyrocumulus clouds churned above the flames.In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, Rachael dives into the science, the heroism, and the heartbreak behind the wildfire that firefighters described as a "monster." Hear firsthand accounts of crews battling impossible conditions, the families forced to flee everything they owned, and the growing questions surrounding drought, climate change, and the future of wildfire in the American West. As the flames raged across Oregon, the Bootleg Fire became more than a natural disaster—it became a warning of what may lie ahead.When nature becomes unstoppable, who survives... and what is left behind?

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Francis, Woodwell Climate Research CenterWhen we think about the Arctic, it's easy to picture a remote landscape of sea ice and polar bears. But what happens in the far north doesn't stay there. As the Arctic continues to warm at an unprecedented pace, scientists are uncovering how those changes may be influencing weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere—from prolonged heat waves and persistent droughts to heavy rainfall and unusual swings in the jet stream. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by atmospheric scientist Dr. Jennifer Francis, whose pioneering research has helped shape our understanding of the connection between Arctic climate change and the behavior of the jet stream. We'll explore why the Arctic is warming so rapidly, how those changes can ripple through the atmosphere, and what they may mean for the persistent weather patterns we've seen in recent years—including the extreme heat that has gripped much of Europe this summer.Chapters00:00 Dr. Jennifer Francis's background and interest in weather05:22 Jet stream patterns and their role in extreme weather13:21 Break 114:31 Mechanisms of Arctic amplification and feedbacks22:57 Stratospheric polar vortex and winter weather effects25:04 Break 225:58 Summer jet stream behavior and climate connections32:08 Ocean heat waves and their influence on jet stream patterns34:33 Current research and future challenges in Arctic climate studies37:06 Closing remarks and resourcesResourcesWoodwell Climate Research Center - https://www.woodwellclimate.org/Jennifer Francis - Research Profile - https://www.woodwellclimate.org/our-scientists/jennifer-francis/Clausius-Clapeyron Relationship - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clausius%E2%80%93Clapeyron_relation Guest linksTwitter - https://x.com/WoodwellClimate https://x.com/JFrancisClimateResearch Center - https://www.woodwellclimate.org/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Collins & Dr. Nadia BloemendaalWhen it comes to hurricanes, we often rely on a familiar scale to understand their strength — categories based largely on wind speed. But anyone who's experienced a storm knows that impacts go far beyond just how fast the winds are blowing. Today, we're joined by Jennifer Collins and Nadia Bloemendaal, whose work is helping to rethink how we model and measure tropical cyclones. They're the minds behind the STORM model, a powerful tool for simulating thousands of storms across the globe, and the developers of the Tropical Cyclone Severity Scale — a new way of looking at storm risk that goes beyond traditional categories. In this episode, we'll explore how large-scale modeling is changing our understanding of hurricane risk, why current classification systems may fall short, and how new approaches could improve the way we communicate danger and prepare for future storms.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the New Storm Model00:20 The Storm Model's Impact on Various Sectors01:02 Challenges in Developing a Global Storm Model02:21 Modeling Hazards Beyond Wind: Rain and Surge04:31 Motivation for a New Hurricane Severity Scale06:42 Limitations of the Wind-Only Scale08:35 The New Scale: Incorporating Multiple Hazards10:27 Break 111:28 The Concept of a Category 6 Storm13:05 Public Perception and Education Strategies15:22 Localized and Personalized Risk Communication17:27 Real-World Applications and Case Studies19:20 Future Directions and Climate Change Impacts21:54 Inertia and Adoption Challenges in Meteorology23:49 Break 225:00 Public Perception of Storm Categories27:33 The Path Toward Standardization and Adoption30:12 Future Collaborations and Final ThoughtsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On May 20, 2013, residents of Moore, a suburb of Oklahoma City, awoke to a severe weather watch. But no one was overly concerned. Tornadoes are a fact of life in the Midwest, especially in Moore, which had already survived a devastating EF5-strength twister on May 3rd, 1999, packing winds of 321 miles per hour. No one really believed it could happen again. But soon, a powerful new tornado would be heading towards Moore – and two elementary schools, Plaza Towers and Briarwood, were right in its path.For more on this story, we recommend:The Mercy of the Sky by Holly Bailey(also available as an audiobook on Audible).Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Against the Odds ad-free right now.

Dan is joined by honorary co-host Mike Schulte for a loose, funny, and surprisingly useful conversation about what happens when cover bands stop getting treated like “just the local guys” and start operating like the professional entertainment businesses they actually are.Mike shares the long-game story of a hometown festival, a shady gatekeeper, years of being told to play for “exposure,” and the eventual full-circle moment of returning to that same town to play for 10,000 people on a proper stage with proper production.From there, the conversation turns into a bigger discussion about building a real following: why being good is only the starting line, how fans become regulars, why personality matters as much as polish, and how bands can create moments people actually want to come back for.Also: kitchen renovation horror stories, hidden house weirdness, horror movies, Mike Flanagan, kids discovering music, and a few current songs that are absolutely destroying in live sets.This one is about playing the long game, staying human, and remembering that the audience connects with people—not just perfect performances.Check out Mike's podcast! https://confusedbreakfast.com/ Sweetwater Affilate Link: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/xJE4rk  BACTrack Affiliate Link: https://www.bactrack.com/coverbandconfidential  MaestroDMX (10% off discount link): https://maestrodmx.com/discount/DISCOUNT4CBC?redirect=%2Fproducts%2FmaestrodmxBlank Contracts & Riders: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/performance-contractsBacking Track Resources: https://www.coverbandconfidential.com/store/backing-track-resourcesThank you so much for tuning in!  If you want to help be sure to like, subscribe and share with your friends!  If you have any questions please email at:Coverbandconfidential@gmail.comConsider supporting us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/coverbandconfidentialOr buy us a cup of coffee!paypal.me/cbconfidentialAnd for more info check out www.coverbandconfidential.comcover band podcast, cover band tips, working musician podcast, live band advice, band business, how to grow a band following, local band advice, festival gigs, cover band festivals, booking festival gigs, band marketing, live music business, working cover band, professional cover band, band leader advice, music career advice, Mike Schulte, Pork Tornadoes, Cover Band Confidential, live performance tips, fan engagement, how bands build fans, band coaching, music business podcast#CoverBandConfidential#CoverBands#WorkingMusician#BandLife#LiveMusic#MusicBusiness#GigLife#BandAdvice#FestivalGigs#RockMoreSuckLess
