 On Wednesday's Houston Matters: We discuss all the latest news in our weekly politcal roundup. Also this hour: Do the benefits of social media outweigh its potential negatives? And author Jonathan Franzen discusses his new novel, Crossroads, and explains why he loves visiting Texas – even though his latest visit to Houston for an event with Inprint Oct. 25 will be a virtual one.

Houston Matters

The week in politics, deleting Facebook, & Jonathan Franzen (Oct. 20, 2021)

Houston Matters is a radio program airing weekdays at 9 am and 7pm 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.
