Former Miami/Philly/LV meteorologist Gina Cancelliere joins Paulina Bucka to talk big-market breaks, the 10-year pause for motherhood, and why the industry feels so different now—fewer people, more jobs per person, and what still makes live weather magic. We get candid about mentors vs. makeup budgets, contracts, and choosing sanity over hustle. Plus: practical advice for students and anyone weighing a pivot out of TV news.

Paulina Bucka reunites with Toi Thornton to revisit the Lafayette “build-it-from-nothing” years—MMJ hustle, low pay, safety lines they refused to cross, and the faith that kept them steady. Toi shares why he left TV for the classroom and how storytelling skills still matter beyond news. There’s still honey in the wreckage. 🍯

Every bee serves the hive — not itself. Here, former and present journalists gather like bees, drawn to what’s raw, real, and sweet. Each story is a drop of nectar, gathered from the wild fields of experience, spun into something golden. From the sting of truth to the sweetness of healing — this is where we build the hive. Hosted by two-time Emmy Award–winning journalist Paulina Bucka. 🍯
