## Resource

Today on the podcast, host Jane C. Hu is joined by Kade Krichko of Ori Magazine to talk about the real World Cup heroes: sod farmers. Kade tells Jane all about the elaborate and logistically challenging process of making grass for the World Cup. Then, Jane is joined by executive producer Ashley Smith and queen of the side hustle Eula Scott Bynoe to talk about ways Seattleites can profit off the World Cup, and ways Sound Transit could close its budget deficit.
