The week in politics, and actor Brent Spiner (Nov. 17, 2021)

On Wednesday’s Houston Matters: We discuss Beto O’Rourke’s gubernatorial candidacy and other developments in politics with analysts Jeronimo Cortina and Renee Cross from the University of Houston.

Also this hour: Michael Hagerty talks with Star Trek’s Data himself — actor and Houston native Brent Spiner — about his new book called Fan Fiction.

And Houstonians talk about some of the interesting things they collect.
