On Tuesday’s Houston Matters: A new report from Rice University’s Kinder Institute for Urban Research shows that growth in Houston and Harris County has slowed–we’ll look at why.

Also this hour: Houston City Council Member Dave Martin, who represents District E, joins us to field your questions.

Then, we learn about the history of Black rodeo in Texas from Demetrius Pearson of the University of Houston and author of Black Rodeo in the Texas Gulf Coast Region: Charcoal in the Ashes.

And the son of astronaut Bruce McCandless II joins us to tell his father’s story.
