On Friday's show: We consider the implications of a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court on redistricting.

Plus: We look at the future of trash pickup in Houston.

And, we get an update on some major road closures from TxDOT.

Also this hour: People can pay for the opportunity to SCUBA dive into the gulf to spear and kill invasive lionfish one by one. We talk with a Texas Monthly writer who recently did just that.

Then, our non-experts consider The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And we go behind the scenes of an adaptation of It's a Wonderful Life performed as a live radio play at Stages Houston through Dec. 28.
