On Friday’s Houston Matters: Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center is restarting its heart transplant program. Today's announcement comes after the Houston hospital temporarily suspended the program for two weeks on the heels of a joint report about a high number of complications. We get an update on the situation.

Also this hour: Dr. Cassandra Kercher Crifasi researches gun policy, but she’s also a gun owner. In what can be a very polarizing world, Dr. Crifasi wants to change the narrative about guns and the people who own them. We find out what she means.

Then: From problems with standardized essay tests to #Bungate hitting restaurants across Texas, our rotating panel of non-experts discusses The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly of the week’s news. And we learn about Outsider Art in Texas.
