WeatherBrains 152: Christmas Edition

WeatherBrains Episode 152 is now online (December 22, 2008). If you are crazy about weather, this is THE netcast audio program for you!

This week we talk with Matt Allen, former punter for the New York Giants, about what it is like playing on the frozen tundra in the National Football League. Seems like most teams are playing in frigid conditions these days.

Other discussions in this weekly podcast include topics like:

  • This is global warming?
  • A peek at Christmas week weather around the nation
  • Memories of Christmas eve as a teenager growing up in radio
  • and more!
  • Our mail bag has been getting some attention and James puts it in perspective.
