We are joined by Robert Prestley (NCAR), who talks about his research analyzing broadcast meteorologists in Houston who were covering Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Using YouTube videos of the broadcasters, he used qualitative research methods to understand individual meteorologists at KHOU-TV and their use of specific words, phrases, and figurative language to talk about the impacts of Hurricane Harvey on Houstonians.

Minh and Castle catch up, and we're talking about.... of course, the coronavirus. Castle thinks he actually had COVID-19, so we walk through what that experience was like. And how does the pandemic play into weather and climate? We talk a bit about that. And Minh downloads TikTok... so that's a thing. Check in and listen to our latest episode of WeatherHype.

It's National Weather Podcast Month, and we are joined by Caroline MacDonald to discuss the use of color in the weather enterprise! We touch on color as a means to communicate weather-related risk, Caroline's thesis project on color consistency, and, finally, discuss the challenges of maintaining color consistency in the weather enterprise that is dominated by marketing and branding constraints. Stick around, because an exciting episode of WeatherHype is coming up next!

It's a new season of WeatherHype, and that means it's time for another American Meteorological Society conference! As the weather enterprise gears up for one of the largest conferences in our discipline, we thought it would be fun to talk about some of our previous experiences, provide some tips/tricks for attending the conference, and help first time attendees understand what to expect. On this new episode of season 5, we are breaking down all the hidden knowledge about the AMS Conference and giving listeners a refresher on what they can expect at the American Meteorological Society's 100th Annual Meeting. Stay tuned, because we are keeping it 100, about #AMS100!
