Description



On Thursday's show: Harris County Jail has failed a safety inspection for the fifth time. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards has deemed the facility noncompliant with the state's safety standards. News 88.7 reporter Lucio Vasquez explains why.
Also this hour: Over the years, Texas and other states have passed laws requiring kids to get more physical education at school. We learn why those laws really didn't work.
Then, we hear from British actor Eric Kofi Abrefa of the Starz series BMF in an excerpt from this week's edition of  I See U with Eddie Robinson.
And what started as a Juneteenth mural in Galveston has expanded to other American cities. We meet Reginald Adams, the artist behind it all.

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.
