The Weather Report with Michael Detwiler
02/17/25 • 40 min
Join Kosta and his guest: Michael Detwiler, local weather observer, member of CoCoRaHS and known across the Upper Cumberland as the Cookeville Weather Guy.
In this episode: I think the only fitting first question for this episode has to be: can we actually predict the weather? Why do other weather reporters get it so wrong? You’re an on the ground weather observer and member of CoCoRaHS, for everyone just now realizing that’s how it’s pronounced will you tell us about the program and what weather observers do? Why does keeping track of weather events matter for our community? What can we learn from the research you’ve done over the past 45 years?

In this episode: You facilitated the first partnership between a public school system and a PBS station. You understand the importance of public works and the importance of giving more to those with less. What’s your message to those who question the effectiveness of public education and resources in this critical time? In 2021 you received the Champion for Children Award from Sesame Street Workshop and PBS for your work with underserved children in vulnerable communities. PBS, WCTE, and members like you give our children in the Upper Cumberland opportunities and information they wouldn’t have otherwise. Will you tell us how you’ve developed the Ready to Learn Program and how it’s changed our community?

The Winning Team with Tammy Key
Join Kosta and his guest: Tammy Key, Owner of Key Learning and Development.
In this episode: In your experience, what do the best teams have in common? There’s one thing mid-level managers, C-suite executives, parents and volunteer soccer coaches can all agree on: just because you have a group of people working together doesn’t make them a team. You’re an expert on leadership and team-building, and I think you’re the perfect person to answer the question of what makes a group of people a team? How important is self-reflection and self-knowing in this team building process? Is it kind of like putting your own oxygen mask on first?
