Description



On Monday's show: Today is Presidents' Day. Who were the best presidents in our nation's history? Who were the worst? We talk with University of Houston professor Brandon Rottinghaus about the Presidential Greatness Project and its latest survey and ranking of those who've held our nation's highest office.
Also this hour: We learn how a group of Black soldiers known as "the Blue Helmets" made history in World War II and moved forward the cause of African Americans in the military. An exhibit about them is on display now at the Buffalo Soldiers National Museum through June 30.
Then, veterinarian Dr. Lori Teller answers pet care questions.
And we get an update on Houston sports from Jeff Balke.

Houston Matters is a radio program airing weekdays at 9 am on Houston Public Media News 88.7 FM in Houston. During each hour, we’ll investigate the issues and ideas, people and places that make Houston…well…Houston! We’ll talk about current events, politics, education, health care, the environment, business, transportation, arts and culture, literature, sports and leisure. But we also hope that what we do each day on Houston Matters serves as the beginning of a conversation — one we hope you’ll continue here, at home, at work, with family, with friends and neighbors. We hope to introduce Houstonians to one another, to celebrate our diversity, and to engage one another through stories and conversations that demonstrate depth and context. Just the sort of thing you count on from public media.
