The field of journalism is changing, and it's personal for host Anastasia Pavlinskaya Brenman. That's why she invited Samantha McCollum Brooks (@weatherwithsam) onto the show. Brooks is a fellow University of Central Florida graduate and trained journalist. For the past several years, she kept residents in South Carolina safe as a meteorologist at WACH Fox 57.
