On Thursday’s show: Three Harris County Jail inmates died during a recent 48-hour span, marking a total of ten in-custody deaths reported in Harris County so far this year. We learn about their cases.
Also this hour: We examine whether any progress has been made in addressing the doctor shortage across the nation and in Texas.
Then, visual artist Andrew Thomas Huang talks about his craft, which includes sculpture and directing both short films and music videos. He’s coming to Houston this weekend for a pair of events as a part of the series HTX Made from director and Houston native Li Lu.
And he’s drawn everything from superheroes to demons, and now his work is headed to Hollywood. Houston comic artist Rod Thornton talks about breaking barriers, building worlds, and why representation on the page still matters.
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.
