Birkie week weather with Ketzel Levens

We check in with Ben Popp to get the DL on the 2024 race. There's something for everyone, even if it's not what we're used to.

Weather is interesting as always, and in this sense I mean "interesting" in both the upper Midwest sense and the rest of the world sense.

Our longest single podcast ever, and worth the wait. For me, at least.

Ketzel Levens joins once again for a last minute weather check-in. You can find the point forecast she mentions at www.weather.gov/forecastpoints.
