There is a gap at one point where my voice cuts out for about 30 seconds, but I come back.

Interview number 2 was with Barb Mayes Boustead of NOAA who talked about weather and Laura and her presentation at Laurapalooza about whether the Long Winter was really as bad as Laura said. It aired live Monday, February 21, 2011, but you can still listen to it live here:
