Alberta had several record-setting weather events in 2023, we're coming out of a weird winter and spring is just days away. On the latest This Is Edmonton podcast, host Clare Bonnyman is joined by CBC climate reporter Stephanie Cram to take a closer look at our weather patterns and data.
Plus, the podcast enjoys the great outdoors with Stephanie Olsen, a University of Alberta master's student who is using a public health perspective to study ways community can come together to overcome climate-based anxiety.
