On Friday’s Show: We reflect on Gov. Greg Abbott’s state of the art speech with Rice University political scientist. Mark Jones.

Also at this hour: Monday night at 8 on Houston Public Media, TV 8, the PBS series American Experience presents Ruthless: Monopoly’s Secret History, which explores the little-known origins of the popular board game. Together, members of the Houston Matters play the 1996 Houston version of the game and share their childhood memories of playing Monopoly.

We then break down the Good, Bad, and Ugly of the week.

And we learn about a play on stage called Cullud Wattah, about a family of black women going through a water crisis in Flint, Michigan.

Audio recordings from today’s show will be available after 11:00 CET. We also offer a free podcast here on iTunes, Stitcher and other apps.
