If you see anat cloud today, take a photo of
it and send it to me. Grow up, tell me
what you think it looks like. It's just I was
just trying to get a bit of interaction. Yeah, with
the with the listeners, but back and forth.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
You want to deal with a thousand cloud photos and
go for it, that's cool.

he's really dominating that weather, those weather picks.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Well, today I want to tell you about pyro cumulus.
You know cumulus. It always says something, he's a fluffy one.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Say no cloud it's made by fire, oh.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Like on fires? Probably not big enough, Okay.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Flammagenitus that's another name, flammagenitus cloud, also known as a pyrocumulus.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah, pyrocumulus flamogenitus pyro cumulominibus is another one. Okay, So
clouds there's a few wags clouds are formed.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
One of them is by at Earth's level.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
It gets hot and heat goes up and when it
goes up, but drags moisture with it.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
It gets up there turns into cloud yep.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Now, when wildfires or volcanoes are erupting, such an intense
heat is released, it forms a rapid formation of clouds
known as pyrocumulus, and enough water vapor is available.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So you think about and you.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Know you'll see more likely in the tropics where it's humid. Yeah,
the volcanoes erupted and above them there's a massive storm
cloud and lightning in this.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Well, that is because that is a.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Pyro cumulomnibus, because it drags enough water vapor weather up
well that it causes a cloud really quick.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, it's got all that energy in it and then boom,
she's the thunder.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
And that's why you often see thunderstorms over volcanoes.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Because of the difference in temperature, because of.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
The hyper temperature of it. Just like shooting it straight
straight up. Pyro cumulus. That's cool, and that's why.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
It's so like textured. Yeah, pyrocumulus.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's the heat shooting it up
real quickly, and wildfires as well. But obviously your average
wildfire is happening in a very dry, arid years. They
wouldn't be moisture, not enough moisture. But there are situations
where a wildfire can happen.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
And then if it was by the coast and there
was ocean, would it have the heat?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, cause because I guess the heat goes up, would
drag the ocean humidity over it. Hmmm, I would put
it so amazing.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Clouds are not the kind of clouds want to be
near enough to see and photos of them in any
situation you have seen your photos to because I love clouds,
the love of clouds.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
