Houstonians’ opinions on a wide range of issues (April 28, 2026)
Description
On Tuesday's show: We get highlights from the annual Houston Area Survey from Rice University's Kinder Institute for Urban Research, which takes stock each year of Houstonians' thoughts and attitudes on a variety of issues facing our region.
Also this hour: The state of Texas is all in on the development of data centers. But just how much electricity will they demand from the power grid, and what does it mean for the rest of us?
Then, college sports have entered a new era in which athletes can get paid, through name, image, and likeness agreements. But it’s a complicated world for those students and their families to navigate. We contemplate the legal complexities.
And Grammy Award-winning violinist Joshua Bell will be in town next week to perform with the Houston Symphony. His performance will include works he commissioned from five celebrated modern composers called The Elements. We revisit a 2022 conversation with Bell when he was just getting starting on the project.
