In December, Friends of the National Center officially launched “The Air We Share,” a new podcast dedicated to the people whose curiosity helped shape the science, culture, and legacy of UCAR, NSF NCAR, and UCP.

In its debut season, “The Air We Share” explores the theme of curiosity—the spark that has driven groundbreaking research and collaboration for decades. Each episode features retired staffers sharing their stories in their own words, offering a unique look at how their inquisitiveness shaped both the organization and the field of atmospheric science. All interested parties are invited to listen, reflect, and stay curious.

In Episode 1, the hosts sit down with Wendy Abshire to reflect on discovery, community, and the personal journeys behind the science. Listen to the first episode on the podcast’s website, Amazon music, or Apple podcasts.
