On Wednesday's show: Houston City Council is taking on the city's next budget, and Hunter Biden was convicted on felony gun charges. We discuss those and other developments in local, state, and national politics in our weekly roundup.
Also this hour: Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of late President and longtime Houstonian George H.W. Bush. We listen back to Craig Cohen’s 2015 conversation with biographer Jon Meacham about Bush, based on Meacham’s book Destiny and Power. Meacham has a new book out about Bush to mark the centennial. It’s titled The Call to Serve and features some never-before-published photos celebrating the 41st President.
And we talk with Varsha Bajaj, the New York Times bestselling author of the middle grade novel Thirst and numerous children's books. She’s back with her latest book, A Garland of Henna, and she’ll be in Houston for an event at Blue Willow Bookshop on Saturday.
