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.
