Ep. 28: Chikage Windler on tracking Austin's recent weird weather

Chikage Windler, chief meteorologist at CBS Austin, has seen a lot of crazy weather over the last year, but even with our hurricanes, snow and ice, the weather here isn't quite as intense to keep up as in her native Oklahoma. On the podcast, she explains why Austin is the perfect place for her to raise her kids and be challenged in her field. Statesman travel and features editor Kristin Finan has launched a new essay series called Family Mixtape and is seeking essays from everyday Austinites on what it means to be a family. In Advice for Austinites, Hector Gonzalez, who works with the non-profit It's Time Texas, shares some tips on staying healthy beyond the January resolutions. Joe Gross discusses "Waco," a new miniseries about David Koresh on the Paramount Network starring Taylor Kitsch. And in A Toast, we recommend Stephen King's 2012 stand-alone Dark Tower book, "The Wind Through the Keyhole," Netflix's "Grace & Frankie" and all things Georgetown, especially the Sweet Lemon Inn & Kitchen.
