Houston Area Survey 
The annual Houston Area Survey from Rice University’s Kinder Institute for Urban Research is the nation’s longest-running study of any metropolitan area’s economy, population, life experiences, beliefs, and attitudes. Its author is the founding director of the institute, Dr. Stephen Klineberg. He unveils the results of the 36th Houston Area Survey.
Sports Monday
Tonight (May 1, 2017), the Rockets are in San Antonio to begin the “I-10 Series,” which is what some are calling their NBA Playoff series against the Spurs. Plus, the Texans traded up in the NFL Draft to get a quarterback. And the Texas Rangers come to town for four games against the Astros starting Monday. Can the Astros beat the Ranger this year? We discuss those and other developments in Houston sports with Jeff Balke, who writes for Houston Press and Houstonia Magazine.
Houston Matters offers a free daily, downloadable podcast here, on iTunes, Stitcher and various other podcasting apps.
