Hi, I'm Emily! I'm an Iowa-based writer, podcaster, and conversation coordinator. Welcome to Shorts Weather!As a lifelong midwestern farm girl, I have had the opportunity to meet some of the most interesting, everyday folk in flyover country. Nothing gets my blood boiling like overhearing someone leave the Midwest out of the conversation. Worse yet, informing me that there is "nothing to do" in the middle of the country is surely a death wish. This is the land and the home of the people I love. I searched high and low for someone who was documenting the stories and thoughts of center cut Americans, but I couldn't find anyone who was grabbing a wide enough cross section of people and experiences.Since I couldn't find the podcast I wanted, I created it myself.Shorts Weather is a celebration of the central United States. You'll find the topics and types of guests on the show vary almost as widely as Midwesterners themselves do. Just as everyone has a different opinion on the right temperature to wear shorts outside, Shorts Weather is a place that fosters Scotcheroo-laced conversation.Thanks for stopping by. I "ope" you enjoy the show!
