Enjoyed the show – would love to refer to some of the statements in the classroom, but the link to the transcript doesn’t seem to be working.

I’m curious about how FDR’s response to the 1936 Gainesville tornado fits into the history of presidential responses to natural disasters. FDR visited Gainesville, GA on April 9 just a few days after the tornado hit (April 4/5, 1936) and worked with CCC and the Red Cross to assist in rebuilding efforts.

Thank you for the show on weather. I particularly enjoyed the story about the Northern Lights, as it’s always nice to hear about an aspect of history that offered a completely optimistic narrative with no “bad guys,” hardship, political agenda, inequality issue, or war-torn devastation.
I also really enjoyed the discussion near the end of the show about how climate and weather separated the North and South throughout your centuries. Dr. Ayer’s ultimate dismissal of U.B. Phillips’ “Let us begin by discussing the weather…” only reinforces that his scholarship and contributions to the academy will stand the test of time.
Have you considered extending this topic to the broader concept of environmental history? I think that would be a fascinating podcast and would love to see how the three centuries approached the concept of the landscape and man’s role within it.
