On Tuesday's show: A new Texas-based national stock exchange has moved one step closer to becoming a reality. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is allowing the Texas Stock Exchange, operated by a Dallas-based startup, to move forward as a direct competitor to the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq. We learn what this could mean for Texas and its economy.
Also this hour: From solitary confinement, to group recreation, we learn how small changes are reshaping life on Texas death row.
Then, comedian Maria Bamford has an amazing ability to slip into and out of characters on stage. We talk with her in her real voice (and maybe some others) ahead of a performance at Houston Improv Wednesday night.
And we learn how Houston’s Korean community is shaping the city’s cultural landscape ahead of the annual Korean Festival this weekend at Discovery Green.
