On Thursday\u2019s show: We get updates on several stories from reporter Dominic Anthony Walsh, including striking hotel workers<\/a> at the Hilton Americas-Houston, the results of the latest homeless count<\/a>, and the ongoing saga over City of Houston employees who took an early retirement to save the city money still waiting<\/a> to receive their buyout payments. <\/p>\n

Also this hour: Everything is bigger in Texas, but is that always a good thing \u2014 especially when it comes to governing and serving a state that is huge in terms of both area and population?<\/p>\n

Then, we hear from author and archivist J.D. Doyle, the creator of Queer Music Heritage<\/a>, an historic collection of Houston LGBTQ+ music.<\/p>\n

And producer Brenda Valdivia speaks with some Houstonians putting up a ghost bike<\/a> roadside memorial and learns about the cyclist they’re remembering and the sometimes-deadly interactions between cyclists and drivers on Houston roads.<\/p>\n
