Tamara Federici, a gifted writer and podcaster, joined Jon Champion on the WPTF Afternoon News to share her firsthand experiences during Tropical Storm Helene in Asheville. Tamara described the storm's unexpected intensity and the emotional toll it took on the local community. Despite minimal preparation, the devastation was severe, leaving neighborhoods without power, water, or communication. She also opened up about the mental health challenges that emerged in the aftermath and emphasized the importance of neighborly support during such times. Federici concluded the conversation by discussing her mockumentary-style podcast, I Produced Every Band Ever, which humorously explores her "work" with legendary bands like Bruce Springsteen.
