MadzenIt was great, but it seems to be no moreI really look forward to this on Fridays, but it fizzled out and the last one was in August. Would really like it to return.

💕brenerI get itThis s not your main job.

Aleksandr S TExcellent weather and climate podcastThorough, insightful and true to the science

Reviewer337746Can't believe I'm listening to a weather podcast.Keep up the great work!

Elusive BirdSound Volume terriblePlease fix the volume issues of your podcast. Some parts of your podcast, and even parts of every sentence/paragraph are so dramatically different in volume that every episode involves ear-blasting shocks as well as “What the heck did he just say? Rewind rewind rewind”-moments. Makes the podcast almost impossible to listen to. Sad to be missing out on your education due to a simple technical oversight.
-
VanyaCohenLongtime readerI’m a longtime reader of the blog, and have to say the podcast is a fantastic addition. If you love learning about the Pacific Northwest, weather, or science, then this is an amazing podcast for you
-
L56FTerrible production valuesExcellent, interesting information but very hard to listen to. Cliff swallows the end of every sentence, so either the beginning is too loud or the end is too soft. Then there is the “intermission” between the weather forecast and the weather topic where he blows your ears out! Please fix it, Cliff!

Bartleby-the-ScrivenerThe science behind the weather forecastIf you live in Washington state and you have any interest it the weather (which is everyone), you owe it to yourself to listen to Cliff Mass' weekly podcast. Mass is a Meteorology professor at the University of Washington and a terrific science communicator. He is able to explain complex scientific concepts in very easy to understand terms. I live in Seattle and am very active in outdoors sports like hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and skiing. Every Saturday morning when I'm driving to the mountains, Mass' podcast is the first one I listen too. In addition to his podcast, Mass has an excellent weather blog which is also worth your time.

dgluck811Big FanJorPet said it for me. Mass explains things so well without talking down to us. Lived in the East and Southeast most of my life. Glad to have him teaching me about NW weather which is so different. I have learned a lot and enjoy his chatty style. Keep it up, Cliff!

kweholtFantastic podcastVery informative AND entertaining.
-
JorPetMaking a complicated science relatableDr. mass does a fantastic job of explaining the complexities of weather science making it so that everyone can understand and relate. Not only a fantastic weekly forecast, but deeper dives in to weather phenomenon that effects the PNW. I look forward to Friday each week to get the low down on incoming weather and an education on a particular weather phenomenon.
-
DoubleDawg2225Excellent ShowDr. Mass’ show is a must-listen every week. I greatly enjoy hearing not only the current conditions but the details behind local phenomena that we experience or encounter frequently. The concise format is fantastic and easy to pick up and listen to. I highly recommend it!

thetimsterdawgUpliftingHonestly, I don’t much about weather forecasts. But Cliff Mass is such a good speaker and anyone who is this passionate about his area of expertise is inspiring. Also, it’s a good place to get interesting topics to use in conversation.

Hrothgar1844Understand Weather Without Political SpinSee those other reviews that claim there is an agenda behind this podcast? Here’s what they would have said if they had even a smidgen of intellectual integrity: “Cliff Mass has a very clear agenda: scientific understanding.” Thank you, Cliff, for giving us straightforward science and fascinating insights without the political spin!

AzucariousKeep up the good work!Tacoma

Pagan PoetryGood and badGood weather discussions but amazingly bad views on climate science. Listen for current weather news but turn it off when he goes into full climate science denial mode.
-
gabeanelsonInformative Weather Details for Puget Sound WashingtonThis podcast provides informative and detailed current weather details, forecasts and weather education. The weather education is what I think is compelling and the main differentiator for this podcast.
