First hour: How do recent weather events fit into the larger picture of climate and trends?
Second hour: Discussing the toxic influence of people like Andrew Tate
This winter has been historically warm, with some of the smallest snow totals our region has seen. We explore the context of the recent weather, and we discuss how it fits into the larger picture of climate and trends. Our guests:
- Josh Nichols, staff meteorologist for WXXI, meteorologist for 7 News in Buffalo, member of the American Meteorological Society, and certified broadcast meteorologist
- Eric Snitil, chief meteorologist for WROC
- Matthew Hoffman, associate professor in the School of Mathematical Science at RIT
Then in our second hour, influencers like Andrew Tate have had a massive effect on teenage boys and young men. Tate in particular has become popular through his videos, which promote misogyny and violence. Many parents aren’t aware of what their kids are being exposed to. How can we counter the influence of someone like Tate? Our guests:
- Jordan O’Connor, student athlete and senior at Hobart College
- Melanie Funchess, CEO and principal of Ubuntu Village Works LLC
- Matthew Martin Nickoloff, pastor of the South Wedge Mission
- Matt Liston, community trainer at the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence is Community Trainer, and social work graduate student at the University at Buffalo
