Carrie welcomes Derek James (@derekjamestv) to the show!

We start the show with Derek telling us about growing up in Central Wisconsin and getting his start in radio in high school. Carrie and Derek talk about making mistakes on-air and how media teaches you to move on quickly. Derek tells us about getting a gig reading the morning news headlines on one of the biggest stations in Wisconsin, 95.5 WIFC, the circumstances that took him to Charlotte, North Carolina, and the gag bit that lead to him becoming a meteorologist! Derek tells us about his transition to TV full time, how he was able to serve the station and how that led to them trusting him and giving him the freedom to came up with his own segment, The Snark Report. Finally Derek tells us his advice to those who want to get into the TV industry.
