## Resource

Today on the podcast, Jane C. Hu is joined by journalists Naomi Ishisaka and Marcus Harrison Green to discuss the news that the first-ever U.S. lawsuit holding Big Oil accountable for a death will go to trial and that it involves the death of a woman during the 2021 Pacific Northwest heat dome. Then Jane, Naomi and Marcus talk about Naomi’s recent viral piece about male Instacart shoppers and what it says about labor. Finally, the trio talk about what they’re doing this weekend. But if you’re a City Cast Seattle neighbor, that’s not all, because executive producer Ashley Smith joins Sean over at City Cast Twin Cities to discuss Jimothy and whether he’s as cool as their 2018 MPR raccoon.
