## Resource

Today on the podcast, Washington State Climatologist Guillaume Mauger returns to explain what El Niño is and why it matters. Then Jane is joined by two coffee snobs: The Needling’s Lex Vaughn and City Cast Executive Producer Ashley Smith to talk about what can fill the empty Starbucks’ around town, and how it isn’t what it used to be. Finally, the trio talk about Seattle’s favorite son: Jimothy. Who is he? Where did he come from? And why is he so special to us?
