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.

Dave Ryan: The Next Chapter

Tuesday, June 23, 2026 • Duration 36:02

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

Tuesday, June 16, 2026 • Duration 44:10

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.

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.

30 Years at WCCO with Amelia Santaniello

Tuesday, July 21, 2026 • Duration 45:24

Weathering Life isn't about having all the answers. It's about enjoying the forecast with the right company. Amelia Santaniello exemplifies this with all of the career moves she has made successfully and how she continues to challenge herself even as she starts her fourth decade of broadcasting. With her many talents, she creates a space where the people around her are lifted by her, and her bright light shines on them, and that includes her husband and co-anchor Frank Vascellaro. Through it all, they also raised three beautiful children, and that is not easy with the broadcast evening schedules. She talks about all of it and enlightens us on how she weathered the storms along the way.
