Paul Loeffler, besides being the Voice of Fresno State Athletics, is the Host of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. He joined the program from Washington D.C. moments before he went back into the "arena" for the competition to continue. In the first of two parts, Paul pulls the curtain a bit on how the 100-year competition has evolved. What began with 9 people competing in 1925 is now more than 200 in 2025 and it's not slowing down!

Trey Wallace is a national college sports reporter for OutKick-Fox. This past week he had the rare opportunity to visit the White House for a championship team reception with the President. As reigning college basketball national champions, the Florida Gators received an invitation to meet with President Trump. Trey Wallace was granted access to cover it and he takes us through what being at an event like is all about. For that matter, just getting cleared to be there is a mountain one needs to climb.

ABC30's Christine Gregory is one of the youngest meteorologists in the Central Valley but don't let that fool you. In this three-part conversation, you'll learn quickly she is smart and savvy like a 25-year veteran. In the course of the conversation, Christine goes A to Z on meteorology - how it started at SUNY Oswego and how it's going here in Fresno, from taking us through a typical day at ABC30 to her fantastic weather videos on Instagram and even a smidge on the Mets and Bills Mafia. Christine is a rising star to keep your eyes on.

More with ABC30 meteorologist Christine Gregory. Forecasting, the complexity of fog (or, here in the Central Valley, it's the dinner guest who never leaves) and the highly controversial debate: Graupel vs Hail. Ok it may not be controversial but it's fascinating to learn the differences. Christine breaks it all down!
