On Monday's show: We reflect on the last 18 months at HISD and preview a new Houston Public Media podcast called The Takeover, which examines power and public education with a focus on the largest school district in Texas as it grapples with sweeping reforms from state-installed leaders.
Also this hour: Texas Southern University professor Thomas Meloncon talks about his new play, Stagolee and the Funeral of a Dangerous Word, which is on stage now through April 21 at Main Street Theater, making its world premiere. The story takes place in an office in a small town in East Texas where the local NAACP chapter is planning a funeral for the “N word.”
And we discuss what's behind the rough start to the Astros season with Jeff Balke.
