Description



On Thursday's show: We examine ITC's recent settlement deal stemming from the 2019 Deer Park fire and discuss the larger ramifications it could have on environmental regulation.
Also this hour: We learn why some universities are reinstating policies requiring standardized test scores for admission.
Then, we find out why it takes so long to remove harmful -- even toxic -- materials like asbestos from public exposure.
And we preview this year’s Art Car Parade with the executive director of The Orange Show and this year’s Grand Marshal, Brock Wagner of Saint Arnold Brewing Company.

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.
