For the love of weather

Show Notes

From Svalbard to space, we had the absolute joy of chatting with Laura Tobin about weather, climate, the ever-changing news cycle, her BRAND NEW BOOK šŸ“˜šŸ“ššŸ“– and so much more. šŸŒā˜ļøšŸš€ We laughed A LOT, shared stories, and came away with one big feeling: Laura’s passion for what she does is truly infectious. It shines through in every conversation, every project and every opportunity she takes on.

We’re excited for the launch of Laura’s beautiful new book, Come Rain or Shine, published by @newriverbooks (Helena and Louise we want to meet you!) and feel incredibly lucky to have welcomed Laura onto our podcast. ā¤ļø.

This is your little reminder to find joy in curiosity, passion and the people who inspire us. ā˜€ļøšŸŒ§ļøāœØ #LauraTobin #ComeRainOrShine #Podcast #Weather #Climate #Inspiration #NewEpisode #WomenInMedia #PodcastLife
