Morning Cup of Joe

It’s been a couple years but here we are. I’m back recording. This is a story of my experience living out my dream and working at a place I wanted to be at since the age of 11. What my job was, and how it all came crashing down. Hope you enjoy this, thank you so much for listening. Hoping to get my higher quality podcast equipment back up and running soon! No fancy production, just raw audio. Hope you all have a great day, week, month, and life!

Hello everyone! Welcome to another episode of the podcast. In today's episode I get into the reasons I left being a TV weather guy. I also go on a bit of rant of what has been bothering me when it comes to the industry and how things are being run, especially with a certain company. Thank you all so much for listening and I'll be with you again in the next episode! Take care and all the best. -Joe

Another tornado outbreak happened in Dixie Alley last night. In this episode I talk about what happened and talk about how important the work that is done in these situations by everyone involved is. It's always heartbreaking to see the devastation that a large tornado can bring. Especially to communities who may not have all the resources that some of us do. Hope you all are well, and I hope you have a great day. Thanks for listening.

We are back! Hope your 2023 is off to a great start! This episode is the first of a series I'll be doing. Talking about my experiences growing up with an alcoholic father. Just sharing stories and hoping it reaches you in a way that is helpful. Knowing that someone has gone through it. Knowing you're not alone. Hope you enjoy, and thank you for listening.

This is a tough one to publish. Just know that it will be an intense episode at times. I'm just talking about my mental battles as of late with full transparency. Thank you all so much for listening, and thank you for even allowing me to have a platform to speak. If no one listened, I wouldn't have posted something like this. 

Recorded this one on the backroads as I was heading home yesterday! Talking about an awesome school visit and special experience I had over this last weekend! Thanks for listening. Hope you have a great day!

Episode 18 and what an episode it is! Never in a million years would I think my face would be on a birthday cake but here we are. LOL.

Thank you all so much for listening. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Thursday everyone! Today's episode is all about social media and how it has changed the game of TV, and life in general! A lot of good and bad has come with the social media storm in the last 10-15 years. Thanks as always for listening, I hope you enjoy!

My two favorite things during one of the best times of the year. Weather, which of course always keeps us on our toes, and the start of the NCAA Tournament! I'm so excited that I found a way to incorporate and mash both of them together! The results may surprise you. Hope you enjoy! Let's make it a great day.

Happy Thursday everyone! If you grew up with me, you know this guest VERY well. It was awesome to have him on and talk about his experiences as a local journalist. I hope you enjoy this interview with him as much as I enjoyed doing it! Hope you have a great day!

Hey there everyone! I hope you're having a great start to your month of March! Today we're getting into why I would still encourage this career even with all of the nightmares I have gone through.

It's been a couple of weeks! I'm happy to back recording today and we get into a multitude of topics. I hope you all are doing well in this crazy world that we live in. Thank you so much for listening! I hope you have a fantastic day!

Thanks so much for listening to the podcast everyone! Today was a fun/interesting topic to speak about. Climate change and earth's warming is having a huge impact on our lives today and the amount of extreme weather we are seeing. I expand on this topic and give some background work that I did in college and speak more onto my thoughts on the subject. Thanks so much for listening, I hope you enjoy!

If you hadn't seen anything on Twitter or Facebook, a reporter was hit by a car during a live shot. She was forced to keep going because they didn't end the live shot, they didn't go to break to make sure she was okay, oh and she was completely alone. I've got a lot of thoughts on this. There NEEDS to be change in regards to this exactly situation. Here's episode 11.

Great news! This podcast episode I am joined by my wife, Ariel! I'm so happy she came on the podcast and did it with me today. We get into more of what life was life for us, but this time, you get to hear more about what it was like for my wife. She gives some great perspective. I think you'll all enjoy this one. Thank you so much for listening!

Happy Tuesday, all! Thank you so much for listening to the podcast and continuing to support me through this journey. This is a ton of fun! Today I get into the topic of "imposter syndrome". A term that you may or may not have heard of before. You might come to find out that you've experienced this in your life in some way! I hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening!

This one may be familiar to some of you. This whole podcast is going through some stories of things that happened to me in my first job at KDLT in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. An experience that changed my life forever. Until recently, I haven't been able to see positives taken from this nightmare. At the end of the podcast and a few stories. I go over how it's actually sharpened my sward. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for listening.

Thank you all for tuning in today on this December 28th! I say 27th in the episode so disregard my brain. I hope you all enjoy the episode! Talking about a lot of these things is beneficial to me and I hope you enjoy listening along the way. Life is hard, and life in TV has taught me a lot of harsh lessons. It also has taught me many life skills. Enjoy!

Good morning and Merry Christmas week! In today's episode I take a listeners topic suggestion and we roll! Talking crazy storms I've both seen and covered since I've been in the business of TV and a storm before that. Hope you all enjoy, and thanks for listening!

Happy Thursday everyone! Thanks for tuning into the podcast. Today, I talk about the school visit I had with 6th graders last week talking to them about the weather! After that, I get into some viewer interactions and what it's like to be judged by people all the time. Sometimes, those people are angry and a bit rude! Hope you have a great day, and thanks for listening!

Happy Monday y'all! This morning I wanted to go through a full discussion on what happened this last Friday night with tornadoes and severe weather that took lives in Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky. An unprecedented event that I hope we don't see again for a long time. I go into a little bit said by someone at FEMA as it relates to climate change. I also go over a couple of great twitter threads that I found speaking about the event last Friday. I hope you enjoy, and I hope you have a great day. Thanks so much for listening. 

Happy Monday and happy first day of the format that I'll run with the podcast! Every Monday you can expect an episode. Also, hope you enjoy the little intro I put together! In today's episode, I go through what a day in the life is like of me. What it's like to wake up when I do and just going through my typical work day! After that, I discuss a couple of misconceptions, or, what sometimes can get lost when people talk about "the media". Just some differences in how we do things compared to Fox News, MSNBC, etc. Also, you'll probably want to hear the story about me getting yelled at in a Caseys gas station. Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy!

Hey everyone! I'm publishing another episode for a second day in a row. I have some great news to share. The podcast can be found on most podcast distribution sites, including apple podcasts!
