Meteorologist Margaret Orr – EP 239
Meteorologist Margaret Orr
Meteorologists in New Orleans tend to become well known locally, probably due to our reliance on them during hurricanes. My guest today retired in 2024 after a long career as chief meteorologist at WDSU tv. Join me as I interview Margaret Orr about her career, Mardi Gras, retirement, and more.
