Our newsletter comes out every Wednesday. If you’re curious to know more about the history of weather forecasting, go check out Kris Harper’s book Weather by the Numbers. Reported by Simon Adler and Annie McEwenProduced by Annie McEwen and Simon AdlerSound & Music by Simon Adler and Annie McEwen and Jeremy BloomMixing help from Arianne WackFact-checking by Diane KellyEdited by Soren Wheeler Special Thanks:Special thanks to Xandra Clark, Homa Sarabi, Santi Dharmawan, Francisco Alvarez, Maureen O’Leary and everyone at NOAA, Shimon Elkabetz, Jack Neff, Joe Pennington, Brad Colman, Morgan Yarker, Megan Walker, Eric Bramford, Jay Cohen and Irving Krick Jr for supplying us with tons of great archival footage and audio. We follow them from the bloody beaches of World War II to the climate changed coasts of today, exploring their impact and predicting what they’ll mean in our wackier weather world. Today, listen to the story of Krick and his descendants, a crew of profit prophets who have found fame and fortune staring at the sky and seeing the future. He was a salesman who turned the weather into a product. He was suave and dapper, with the charm of a sunbeam and the boldness of a thunderclap.
But in the 1940s, there was really only one of them: Irving P. They’re local celebrities with an outsized influence. Rolling onto the airwaves at morning, noon and night they tell us what to wear and where to plan our picnics. Meteorologists are as common as the clouds these days. Foundational support for Radiolab was provided by the Alfred P. Leadership support for Radiolab’s science programming is provided by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Science Sandbox, a Simons Foundation Initiative, and the John Templeton Foundation.

It includes short essays, recommendations, and details about other ways to interact with the show. And explore with show regular, science writer, and fellow water drinker, Carl Zimmer, about the trillions of microscopic creatures that keep us regulated, physically, but also, maybe, emotionally and spiritually. Talk with writer Frederick Kaufman about our first peak into the wonderful world of human digestion that came about thanks to a hunting accident. We join author Mary Roach and reach inside a live cow's stomach. What's going on down there? And what can the rumblings deep in our bellies tell us about ourselves? This hour, we dive into the messy mystery in the middle of us.
