“Makes me feel normal for being a weather nerd. Great guests, great hosts. The honorable James Spann with a cast ranging from Bill Murray (no not that one), Nate, and Aubrey. Guests including storm chasers, NWS employees both past and present, and those who were directly involved in the storm. I...”Read full review »

“Love your podcasts! I grew up in Arkansas and now live in California, so I don’t get much weather here. But I use you guys to both keep me up to date and to continue to increase my knowledge of weather (I use to work as a meteorologist for air quality). I have told so many family and friends...”Read full review »

“Great viewpoints and great guests. It’s nice to hear from fellow meteorologists in a long form podcast. I’m a winter weather guy so I’m always bias toward cold weather talk, but I understand why the focus is severe weather. Looking forward to another decade of Weatherbrains. Congratulations on...”Read full review »

Half of the people talking are garbled and too quiet because the audio in video chat is terrible so I have the volume cranked way...”Read full review »

“Waaayyyyy too long most weeks -- sometimes approaching 2 hours. Also, I can only take so much of James Spann's overexcited stammering and stuttering when he attempts to start a sentence while interrupting someone. I gotta agree with a previous reviewer that the audio is pretty bad, and lots...”Read full review »
