  • サマリー

  • Houston Matters is a radio program airing weekdays at 9 am on Houston Public Media News 88.7 FM in Houston. During each hour, we’ll investigate the issues and ideas, people and places that make Houston…well…Houston! We’ll talk about current events, politics, education, health care, the environment, business, transportation, arts and culture, literature, sports and leisure. But we also hope that what we do each day on Houston Matters serves as the beginning of a conversation — one we hope you’ll continue here, at home, at work, with family, with friends and neighbors. We hope to introduce Houstonians to one another, to celebrate our diversity, and to engage one another through stories and conversations that demonstrate depth and context. Just the sort of thing you count on from public media.

  • Hurricane season forecast (May 30, 2024)
    2024/05/30

    Houston Matters begins at 9 a.m. CT on 88.7FM or listen online. Join the discussion at 713-440-8870, talk@houstonmatters.org or @HoustonMatters.

    On Thursday's show: News broke yesterday that ConocoPhillips plans to buy Marathon Oil in an all-stock deal valued around $17.1 billion. We learn more about the deal and what it could mean for Houston and for energy prices.

    Also this hour: Atlantic hurricane season officially begins Saturday. Matt Rosencrans, lead hurricane season forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, walks us through what to expect in terms of major storms over the next several months.

    Then: We discuss how the latest Planet of the Apes film, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, explores legacy and how history is remembered, which is the subject of this month’s installment of our film segment, The Bigger Picture.

    And we reflect on the life of Sam Houston, namely the final few years of it, which he spent in self-imposed exile in the pines of East Texas. It's the subject of Ron Rozelle’s book Exiled: The Last Days of Sam Houston.

  • Houston’s future problems (May 29, 2024)
    2024/05/29

    On Wednesday's show: Storms on Tuesday brought wind, rain, and hail, and left some streets flooded and power out -- again. So, naturally, there’s more rain coming. Houston Chronicle meteorologist Justin Ballard tells us what to expect the rest of this week.

    Also this hour: We discuss results from the primary election runoffs and other developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

    Then, there are some things Houstonians deal with today that will probably always be a challenge -- public safety, mobility, flood risk, and more. But how will they change long term? We contemplate what challenges our city will face in 2044.

    And we meet the new artistic director for Stages Houston.
