A mint green skyline against a dark blue background with the words Houston Matters with Craig Cohen in white

On Thursday's show: The Chevron Houston Marathon is this Sunday. That means a lot of runners, a lot of spectators, and a lot of traffic. We talk with one of the organizers about what Houstonians need to know ahead of this weekend's events.

And we find out why the mayor and the city controller are clashing again, this time over how flood mitigation funds are being used.

Also this hour: We recall great speakers and speeches in Houston’s history.

Then, we discuss the long term impact of GLP-1 medications on Houstonians’ health.

And we chat with reggae musician Shaggy ahead of his performance with the Houston Symphony on Sunday.
