Weathering Life isn't about having all the answers. It's about enjoying the forecast with the right company. After decades in Minnesota broadcasting, Bel reading the atmosphere and Lee reading the room, these two MN Hall of Famers have one new mission: helping people navigate life's stormiest transitions. Weathering Life with Bel and Lee is a weekly podcast packed with wit, wisdom, and guests who've been through their own forecast changes — career pivots, reinvention, unexpected detours, and the sunny stretches in between. No teleprompter. No script. Just two legends, a mic, and the conversation you didn't know you needed.

  • Eric Perkins: Betting on Himself
    Jun 30 2026

    This week we sit down with Eric Perkins. Perk at Play Productions is his amazing company, and he tells us all about how he started it and how it has evolved. A proud dad of three amazing children, we chatted with him during Father’s Day week. Being a hands-on Dad was one of the reasons he made a huge change in his life right after the pandemic. We talk about his forecast moving forward and how it might seem risky to leave a career and go out on your own, but how rewarding it is once you make the decision.

  • Dave Ryan: The Next Chapter
    Jun 23 2026

    Dave Ryan has had a storied career in radio here in Minnesota. How did he land the job in the first place and how did he decide that this was the time to say goodbye to his loyal audience? What is his forecast looking forward, and how does someone transition out of such a rigid early morning minute-by-minute schedule that has been their life for 33 years?

  • Our First Forecast
    Jun 16 2026

    Lee and Belinda have known each other for nearly 30 years. This is our very first episode! We decided to just sit down and talk — the same way we always do — so you can get a feel for the kind of conversations we want to bring you: honest, interesting, funny, and hopefully helpful. We realized that every time we catch up, we end up talking about the big changes and transitions in our lives — some we saw coming that we planned for, and many others that arrived completely unexpected. That’s why we called the show Weathering Life. It’s about forecasting the good, weathering the storms, and appreciating the sunny days when they come — while knowing that both are just part of life.
