Description



On Thursday's show: Memorial Hermann Health Systems has halted a kidney transplant program days after abruptly announcing they also stopped liver transplants. A public health expert helps us understand why and considers the impact the news might have on patients.
Also this hour: A new book called Space Shuttle Stories from veteran astronaut Tom Jones chronicles the history of the space shuttle program -- its successes and failures -- along with details, oral histories, and photographs from all 135 missions.
And Eddie Robinson talks with musician, composer, and filmmaker Samora Pinderhughes, who brought his work, The Healing Project, to Houston last month. The multi-media project uses a variety of creative works to examine policing, violence, and the U.S. prison system. We hear an excerpt of their hourlong conversation from this week's edition of I See U.

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.
