Guest: James Spann, Chief Meteorologist & Founder of the Alabama Weather NetworkWhen it comes to weather, few names carry the respect, trust, and authority of James Spann. For decades, he's been the steady voice that Alabamians turn to when the sky turns dark — part scientist, part storyteller, and always a servant to his community. But beyond the green screen, James has become a powerful advocate for local weather, founding the Alabama Weather Network to bring hyper-local, science-based forecasting back to the people who need it most. Today, we talk with James about how the weather and media industries have evolved, why social science is now at the heart of saving lives, and how meteorologists can stay grounded in service even as technology and the atmosphere continue to change.Chapters00:00 The Journey of James Spann: A Weather Legend11:38 The Evolution of Weather Broadcasting17:30 The Impact of Social Media on Weather Communication18:16 BREAK 119:07 The Power of Social Media in Weather Reporting21:13 Launching the Alabama Weather Network25:14 Innovating Weather Coverage for the Next Generation29:56 BREAK 230:01 The Importance of Hyperlocal Weather Reporting39:22 A Commitment to Community and Future GenerationsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kick off the Best of 2025 with one of the most intense episodes we released on the Weekly Spooky horror podcast—a brutal winter survival horror story where a long-haul trucker gets trapped at a lonely truck stop after a sudden blizzard buries the world in white.The bathroom run turns into a nightmare when his tracks vanish, the store is locked and dark, and something moves in the storm—something too big, too patient, and too wrong to be a deer. Back in his cab, with fuel running low and the wind battering the doors, the real terror begins: nudges against the truck, glimpses of massive horns, and a towering creature with a skull-like face that keeps reappearing closer… like it's learning him.Glass splinters. The windshield gives. The gunshots don't do what they're supposed to do. And when the only safe place left is beneath his own trailer, he realizes the storm isn't trying to kill him nearly as much as whatever's hiding inside it.If you love cryptid horror, creature features, blizzard horror, and stories about being stranded with a monster, this is a Best of 2025 must-listen.I Was Hunted by a Cryptid in a Snowstorm — by Michael KelsoYou can purchase books from this author here: https://geni.us/michaelkelsoauthorhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Horror_writer_1717/

Today on Little Wars FM, Greg interviews Dr. Prit Buttar to learn about the critical period of late November through December 1942. Dr. Buttar is a prolific historian with many published books, but today's conversation focuses on his 2018 book "On a Knife's Edge," which details the fall of Stalingrad and the failed relief effort to save Paulus's 6th Army. Should Paulus have initiated a breakout? Was a breakout even logistically possible? Is Manstein's legend overhyped in the context of Operation Winter Storm? And what about Zhukov's role...in his own memoirs did he steal the spotlight from other Red Army commanders? Why did Operation Winter Storm make such excellent progress on its first day before grinding to a halt in the ensuing week? Could Hitler have authorized the release of more divisions? Those questions are just the beginning of a fascinating, two-hour talk. You can read Dr. Buttar's book, "On a Knife's Edge" and get a copy directly from the publisher, Osprey. Also, you can learn more about his work on his personal website. We want to thank Prit Buttar for being so generous with his time and chatting with Little Wars TV for our Winter Storm campaign series on YouTube!
