On Tuesday's show: It may be weeks before we fully know how much damage Helene caused in the southeastern United States, but we have an idea, because Houston has had its own history with previously unprecedented storms. We discuss how Houstonians can help and ponder the lessons Houston can learn from this disaster with Angela Blanchard, chief recovery and resilience officer for the City of Houston, who’s been through her share of storms and disaster recovery efforts.
Also this hour: A new book from legal scholar, architect, and Houston native Sara C. Bronin examines what she considers a force for good: zoning. You know, something Houston doesn’t have. In Key to the City: How Zoning Shapes Our World, she discusses how the process of developing fair and appropriate zoning can be used to properly plan development of a city.
Then, we remember two major figures in the sports world who died Monday: former Houston Rockets star Dikembe Mutombo and baseball great Pete Rose. We consider how their respective post playing career paths diverged.
And Houston native Sergio Lira talks about co-founding Luz Films, a production company with the goal of telling stories from a Latino perspective. And he tells us about one of the first projects the company spawned: a film called In the Summers, which won the Grandy Jury Prize for drama at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
