It’s the subject of poetry, literature, art and film. It can inspire spiritual experiences, and it can destroy everything you have ever worked for. It is the weather, and no one knows it better than we do. Join us every week for the agony and the ecstasy of the one story that the entire world participates in and the science behind it. From the people behind The Weather Channel TV network.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T16:19:35.077464+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/weather-geeks-66587"},"episode":{"title":"Inside the American Weather Enterprise Association","slug":"inside-the-american-weather-enterprise-association","published_at":"2026-03-11T07:05:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/weather-geeks-66587/inside-the-american-weather-enterprise-association","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/weather-geeks-66587","url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/a7a198ff-d007-450b-ae3d-60bb8a8c28f9.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/a7a198ff-d007-450b-ae3d-60bb8a8c28f9.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"Guests : Doug Hilderbrand & Jennifer Sprague-Hilderbrand When you think about the weather world, you might picture satellites spinning overhead, supercomputers crunching data, or meteorologists trying to explain that yes, the cone is not the size of the storm. But behind all of that is a whole community of people working together to keep us informed and safe. Today, we’re joined by two people who know that ecosystem better than almost anyone: Doug and Jennifer Hilderbrand, co-founders of the American Weather Enterprise Association. Together, they’re building a space where the public, private, and academic sectors can actually talk to each other — and maybe even agree on a few things — to strengthen the entire weather community. We’ll dive into why they launched the association, what they hope to change, and how collaboration can help us all navigate a future with more complex storms, more data, and more demand than ever.
