Meteorologists Emily Gracey and Kerrin Jeromin are taking a break from the week's weather headlines for a special bonus episode!

Instead of covering the latest storms and climate news, they're answering your questions about how they became meteorologists, the movie that inspired both of their careers, the mentors who shaped them, and the paths that led them from television weather to science communication and podcasting.

Along the way, they debate heat vs. cold, hurricanes vs. snowstorms, share the weather that still makes them nervous, and reflect on what makes their partnership on Weekly Weather Brief work so well.

Whether you've been listening since day one or just found the podcast, this is your chance to get to know the people behind the forecasts.

In this episode:

How Twister inspired two future meteorologists
Career journeys through TV, The Weather Channel, and science communication
Favorite weather to forecast (and least favorite!)
Weather fears that even meteorologists still have
What Emily and Kerrin admire most about each other
The story behind Weekly Weather Brief

Thanks for listening! We'll be back next week with our regular roundup of the biggest weather and climate stories.
