Description



On Friday's show: Dominic Anthony Walsh joins us to discuss Thursday’s sick out by some HISD teachers protesting reforms put in place by the state-appointed superintendent and board.
Also this hour: Deryl Tumlinson of CenterPoint Energy explains how electric poles, power lines, and other elements of Houston’s electric delivery system are maintained.
Then, our panel of non-experts breaks down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
And, with the annual Mecum Auction taking place this weekend at NRG Center, we revisit a conversation with the company's CEO, who says most people bidding to buy a classic car at the event are doing so for reasons far deeper than just collecting.

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.
