On Tuesday’s show: Beginning on Jan. 8, Harris County will begin taking applications for Uplift Harris, its new income assistance pilot program. A county official explains how it works, who’s eligible, and whether it’s likely to continue once the initial funding runs out.

Also this hour: We learn about plans NASA is making to decommission the International Space Station in the coming decade and how you bring a spacecraft about the size of a football field safely back into earth’s atmosphere.

Then, we revisit a 2023 conversation with sports broadcaster and University of Houston alum Jim Nantz.

And Ernie Manouse talks with two of the actors behind TINA – The Tina Turner Musical, which runs Jan. 2-7 at The Hobby Center.
