Mike Alger - Community Cares Podcast 137

In this episode of Community Cares, we sit down with longtime Reno chief meteorologist and local weather legend Mike Alger to talk about the faith and family foundations that shaped his decades on air serving Northern Nevada. He reflects on what it meant to become a trusted voice through blizzards, floods, droughts, and wildfires, and how those experiences deepened his sense of calling to serve and protect the community he and his family call home. We explore Mike’s journey into broadcast weather, how he grew into a household name, and the practices that kept him grounded as a husband and father while working a demanding, very public job. Mike also shares stories about living out his values in everyday decisions, his longtime involvement with local nonprofits and ministries, and the ways simple acts of service can quietly change lives. Now stepping into a new chapter as an adjunct instructor in broadcast meteorology at the University of Nevada, Reno’s Reynolds School of Journalism, Mike talks about passing nearly four decades of experience on to the next generation—helping students learn live weathercasting, science communication, and how to connect authentically with viewers.
