On this week's show our reporters return to the Fresno County community of Lanare for our series "Contaminated." We also hear Reporter Jeffrey Hess interview Fresno Mayor Lee Brand on an Amazon distribution center coming to Fresno. Later we hear from Tuolumne Winter Rangers Rob and Laura Pilewski talk about the extreme weather conditions this year and what it's like to spend the winter in isolation. Scripps National Spelling Bee Winner Ananya Vinay also joins the program. And ending the show we learn all about the CSU Summer Arts program coming to Fresno State this summer. Joanne Sharp and Tanya Osegueda join us for the interview.
