On Tuesday's show: Houston City Council is considering extending the hours for paid parking downtown. And TxDOT is ending its agreement with a private company to run the toll lanes on State Highway 288. We discuss both stories.

Also this hour: Houston-area author Leah Lax talks about her new book, Not From Here: The Song of Americawhich features stories about her Jewish roots interwoven with local immigrant accounts of coming to the United States. We speak to her ahead of an event at Brazos Bookstore on April 4.

Then, on the heels of the Houston Open, we explore Houston’s golf culture.

And we revisit a 2014 conversation with Oscar-winning actor Louis Gossett, Jr., who died last week at the age of 87.
