Meteorology, served with genuine excitement — Tornadoes, blizzards, heat domes, lightning: this is a podcast about the forces that drive our weather and the stories behind them. This podcast focuses on weather, especially extremes, and the way it interacts with forecasting. Much of the podcast focuses on the U.S.A. Local Chicago weather is sometimes included. Often a weather synopsis is given for the Midwest. Sometimes a weather synopsis is also given for the East Coast or West Coast. Occasionally, a synopsis is given for other locations within the United States, including the Gulf Coast. In recent months, the Jewish halachic times (called zmanim) have often been included. מטאורולוגיה, מוגשת בהתלהבות אמיתית — מאת שמחה, חובב מזג אוויר שאינו יכול שלא להיסחף במדע של האטמוספירה. טורנדו, סופות שלג, כיפות חום, ברקים: זהו פודקאסט על הכוחות שמניעים את מזג האוויר שלנו ועל הסיפורים שמאחוריהם. פודקאסט זה עוסק במזג האוויר, במיוחד בתופעות הקיצוניות, ובאופן שבו הן משפיעות על התחזיות. חלק ניכר מהפודקאסט מתמקד בארצות הברית. לעיתים נכלל מזג האוויר המקומי של שיקגו. לעיתים תכופות ניתן סיכום מזג אוויר למערב התיכון. לעיתים ניתן גם סיכום מזג אוויר לחוף המזרחי או לחוף המערבי. מדי פעם ניתן סיכום למקומות נוספים בארצות הברית, לרבות חוף המפרץ. בחודשים האחרונים, נכללו לעיתים תכופות זמני ההלכה היהודיים (הנקראים זמנים).

On January 24, 1967, Chicago hit a record 65 degrees with thunderstorms and funnel clouds. Two days later the snow began, and by the next morning 23 inches had buried the city, still Chicago's largest snowstorm on record. Tens of thousands of cars and hundreds of buses were stranded, and the city came to a stop. This episode covers the meteorology behind the Big Snow, the human toll, the long dig-out, the political fallout, and what would happen if the same storm hit today.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
