On Friday's show: After last May’s derecho and then Hurricane Beryl in July, it seemed reasonable to expect some disaster aid from the federal government. So, why has the way the city spends these particular funds been controversial?
Also this hour: Saturday is Make Music Day here in Houston and in more 2,000 cities worldwide. In anticipation, we talk with some folks behind some performances around the city, including a free concert from Dacamera at the Menil Collection inspired by the works of artist Rene Magritte. Flutist Hunter O'Brien gives us a preview.
Then, from Fort Bend County Judge KP George announcing he's running for a third term — but this time as a Republican -- to a mongoose that escaped from a wildlife park being safety captured after he turned up at a local pub, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
And just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, we explore the cultural impact of the movie Jaws 50 years after its release and offer a glimpse at what life was like along the coast in Galveston at the time.
