On Friday’s Houston Matters: Did Houston voters know they extended term limits for elected officials back in 2015? That's the question at the center of a lawsuit in court today. Our expert explains the controversial measure and where it stands now.

Also this hour: Sunday is Mother's Day. So, we decided to revisit the story of a mother and daughter whose relationship transformed as they traveled the world. Houston writer Kimberley Meyer told the story in The Book of Wanderings: A Mother-Daughter Pilgrimage.

Plus: Our panel of non-experts weighs in on some of the interesting stories from the week's news and decides if they are good, bad, or ugly. And we reflect on the Broadway hits of composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein in advance of a performance by the Houston Chamber Choir.
