On Friday's show: We preview festivities this weekend leading up to the college football national championship game Monday night. Chris Massey of the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority talks about the events planned and security measures for the weekend.

Also this hour: As we mark the third anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol, author and historian Jeremi Suri examines the unresolved questions that have dominated the politics of our country since the end of the Civil War, which is the subject of his latest book, Civil War by Other Means. We hear an excerpt from Suri's interview on this week’s edition of I See U with Eddie Robinson.

Then, from who didn’t make it to the college football national championship game in Houston on Monday, to a change in policy regarding cups at Starbucks, our non-experts weigh in on The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And deciphering old photos and home movies to understand what they really say about a family – and who gets to tell a family’s story – are themes explored in the Alley Theatre’s production of the Broadway hit Pictures from Home.
