Rec of the Week

Get ready to discover your next obsession. Each week, we handpick a gem just for you—a binge-worthy podcast, a must-have product, or an interesting news story.

With frigid temperatures and possible precipitation in the forecast this week, maybe you’re looking for the best source for accurate weather reporting. First — sorry to disappoint, but “accurate weather reporting” isn’t a thing in Texas. The weather is bananas and unpredictable. Still, trained professionals give it their best-educated attempt and these two guys are pretty popular:

Steve McCauley: This is who you follow for “Joe Six Pack”-type" weather reporting. We have no idea if Steve enjoys a six-pack, but the point is, he’s a former WFAA-meteorologist-turned-professor who has amassed a lot of loyal fans on social media who trust no one but him, come winter or tornado season.

Pete Delkus: If you’ve lived in DFW for a while, you know good ol’ reliable Pete. If you want equal parts solid weather reporting and quippy entertainment, follow Pete on X/Twitter.

ICYMI

We understand, there are a lot of emails in your Inbox. That’s why we’re here with the “In Case You Missed It” moment from last week’s newsletter: CLICK 👉👉  Frisco Scores Big with New Ways to Play: From cricket bats and badminton to pickleball paddles and banana ball, Frisco continues to offer residents and visitors diverse ways to play, compete, and stay active.
