An update on winter storms across Northern California. Also, a queer-owned book and coffee shop in Elk Grove called “A Seat at the Table.” Finally, drag queen Sasha Velour. 

Winter Storm Forecast
After a dry start to the year, a powerful mix of snow and rain moved across our area this weekend - including a flood watch across the Sacramento Valley and the Delta, coupled with a winter weather advisory in the Cascades and the Sierra. And that’s just the first of back-to-back systems in the span of a week. FOX40 Chief Meteorologist Adam Epstein joins Insight with precipitation totals and the latest on the conditions.

Queer-Owned Bookstore ‘A Seat at the Table’
For the past several years, A Seat at the Table Books in Elk Grove has been offering an inclusive and safe space for the queer community in the Sacramento region. Last month, the queer-owned book and coffee shop also experienced harassment after a protestor showed up to a Drag Storytime event. Owner Emily Autenrieth, and Jonathan Lopez, a youth outreach coordinator and author who performs as the drag queen Hellen Heels, talk about the importance of queer-friendly spaces for the larger community.

Drag Queen Sasha Velour
If you’re a fan of drag or reality TV or fabulous personalities, you’ve no doubt come across Sasha Velour. The scene stealer won season nine of Rupaul’s Drag Race in 2017. She’s also been chronicling the power, beauty and purpose of drag - along with her partner Johnny Velour - through Velour, the Drag Magazine since 2014. In 2023, she released her memoir “The Big Reveal: An Illustrated Manifesto of Drag” and is now touring with her stage show. She joins us today to  talk about the colorful history of drag and her role documenting it ahead of her event The Big Reveal: Why Drag Matters Now and Forever at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 7 at the Mondavi Center in Davis.
The Mondavi Center is a financial supporter of CapRadio.
