On Friday’s show: This week, experts from across Texas testified at a hearing on disaster preparedness and flooding in the wake of the deadly Central Texas floods. Among those who testified were representatives from Rice University’s SSPEED Center, whose Jim Blackburn discusses how what happened in Central Texas relates to past storms here.
Also this hour: A recent report from Bankrate ranked Texas near the bottom when it comes to the best states to retire. Why? And how does Houston stack up? We consider the pros and cons of retiring here.
Then, from what used to be Houston’s own Shipley’s Do-Nuts being sold to a California company, to an ad campaign’s play on words that has some worried about eugenics, this week’s non-expert panel weighs in on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.
And Hank, Peggy, and Bobby are back as King of the Hill returns after 15 years. Its showrunner Saladin Patterson talks about bringing back the beloved animated series and its depiction of small-town Texas life.
Audio from today’s show will be available after 11 a.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, Stitcher and other apps.
