By Madeleine Brand • • 50m ListenPresident Obama is visiting the Central Valley today to discuss drought mitigation efforts. We talk to a farmer in Fresno. Plus, a scientist says California’s drought could last decades. We also get the scoop on a beloved Japanese composer who turns out to be a total fraud. We check-back in with the luger from La Cañada who blew up online with her warm-up routine. We’ll also talk about this weekend’s huge traffic warnings as officials close part of the 405, and we’ll get the latest news out of Hollywood.
