On Wednesday’s show: We recap last night’s State of the Union address and discuss other developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

Also this hour: Do you grunt when you get up after sitting too long? Do you feel achy after sleeping? Nearly a quarter of all U.S. adults suffer from chronic pain. We discuss how to manage it, and when it is a good idea to see a doctor or a specialist.

And Houston-based singer and musician Kyle Cousins joins us and performs in studio. He’s one of a number of area musicians who will be showcased in a concert Thursday that wraps up this year’s ReelAbilities Houston Film and Arts Festival.

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.
