Mike Augustyniak talks with me this month about his journey from growing up in Rotterdam to combining a passion for radio with a career in meteorology. Mike recalls early radio memories, pivotal storms that inspired him, internships at WGY and Channel 10, and his rise to work in a major market and for CBS. The episode highlights mentorships, the challenges of local forecasting, the changing media landscape, and personal reflections on career choices and staying true to one’s passions.
