The Weather Podcast Goes Hunting

I am still trying to figure out how I can pull off Musical Thursdays without becoming a token indictment for the RIAA. If you have any music you'd like to donate to The Weather Podcast, let me know: josh@theweatherpodcast.com. Seriously though, if you are familiar with some record labels who either wouldn't care or would be willing to give me permissions, josh@theweatherpodcast.com.

Today's podcast includes forecasts for the following locales:

• Lansing, Michigan
• Hackensack, New Jersey
• Manistee, Michigan

I seriously feel like going out and buying a gun for a few reasons:

1. So much talk about Manistee has made me feel like I should go hunting.
2. This forecast got me thinking about what it must be like to have to live in Manistee during the winter, when you can't really spend much time on the beach.
3. John Bolton was on C-SPAN this morning, and I was reminded that he--and his gross blindly U.S.-elitist worldview--represented me in the United Nations for a time. It made me not want to go on living, hence the gun. Sorry for having to spell out the joke like that. The Weather Podcast is so damn popular that I know Homeland Security is watching.

By the way, I had to reset the site feed, so if you were subscribed before, and it is no longer working, that's why. Just re-subscribe now.

Listen to today's podcast.

Definition of Giblets Confirmed, to My Exuberance.

I had all but decided that the term "giblets" would be officially re-defined or have its definition expanded by the actions of this website, a la today's forecast.

It is, however, already true, that the word can have an array of dirty meanings, as you can see from this reputable source.

A big thanks to Megan for that reference.

The First Weather Podcast - I'd Be Surprised if You Were Able to Finish This Goddamned Thing.

The first Weather Podcast is here. As it turns out, my audio setup is not nearly as good as I had hoped. It sounds scratchy, but it is still worth a listen because it is stuffed full of COMEDY! It probably would have been a good idea to test it at an earlier time than right before I recorded it. It will be fixed for the next forecast. It is my meteorologic promise to you.

Today's podcast includes forecasts for the following cities:

• Lansing, MI
• Kansas City, MO
• New York, NY
• Rochester, NY

I have given the extended forecast for Rochester today.

After you listen to the podcast, check out some follow-up research I performed here.

Enjoy the forecast.

A Weather Podcast Preview: A 4-CAST Classic Musical Thursday

The story behind The Weather Podcast is a long one. That's why I will give you a shortened version. As a young, bright-eyed college student at the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY, I produced a daily (in theory) weather forecast that was available over the telephone. Listeners could dial a phone number--owned by WRUR 88.5--and hear a recording I had made of the day's weather forecast.

I had many psychotic fans, and it is my hope that none of them discover this podcast. For you normals, however, I hope you enjoy this new outlet, and as my thanks for your interest, I present you with this preview of what is to come. Every Thursday on the forecast, I sang the weather and called it a Musical Thursday. This is an episode from April 11, 2003, where I not only sang but also played the guitar, giving the weather forecast to the tune of Green Day's "Good Riddance."

Tonight will bring you the official launch of The Weather Podcast, complete with new additions to the site.

Enjoy the flashback.
