In this highly entertaining episode, Lauren and Matt Meister (yes, THE Matt Meister), share what it’s really like behind the scenes in local TV news (including a newsroom story that is absolute nightmare fuel) and what finally pushed him to leave traditional broadcasting and launch Peaks2Plains Weather, his new digital-first weather platform built to serve Colorado Springs wherever and whenever you need it.

You’ll also hear:

The surprising truth about whether Anchorman or The Morning Show is more accurate
What Matt misses (and doesn’t miss) about the newsroom
How the media world is changing fast, and what local stations should do next
A very embarrassing story that involves Matt (unbeknownst to him) and Carly that is 10 years in the making

Plus so much more.

If you love Colorado Springs, love a good behind-the-scenes story, and need a laugh with your coffee…this one’s for you.
