On Thursday’s show: We discuss Mayor Sylvester Turner’s last city council meeting, the accomplishments he touted during it, and what challenges are first up for Mayor-elect John Whitmire and the next Houston City Council.

Also this hour: We talk with members of the youth-led nonprofit Students Engaged in Advancing Texas that alleges Katy ISD’s gender fluidity policy is discriminatory.

Also: This month’s edition of The Bigger Picture explores some serious issues raised…by a new Godzilla film.

And we learn how a math professor at Sam Houston State University’s work with artificial intelligence helped restore the music of a lost opera and what that had to do with the 700th anniversary of Lithuania’s capital city.
