Next Episode: Renting in Houston (March 15, 2024)

On Friday's show: Houston is set to receive $43 million from the Department of Transportation for flood and heat mitigation, pedestrian safety, and green space. We'll learn what those improvements will look like from Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher, and discuss the value of new tree canopies with Barry Ward from Trees for Houston.

Also this hour: Ahead of St. Patrick's Day, we revisit a conversation about Irish-Americans in Houston.

Then, following a PBS Frontline win at the Academy Awards for 20 Days in Mariupol, we'll listen back to conversations about previous Frontline documentaries with Houston connections.

And we meet the founder of Hopera, a company of singers that performs opera at local craft breweries.
