Houston Matters starts at 9 a.m. CT on 88.7FM or listen online. Join the discussion at 713-440-8870, [email protected] or @HoustonMatters.

On Friday’s show: From budget negotiations to fire contract delays to the Montrose TIRZ project, we discuss the latest city of Houston news with HPM’s Tom Perumean.

Also this hour: Former Houston Comets star and Basketball Hall of Famer Sheryl Swoopes talks about her memories of winning the first four WNBA championships, what it was like starting her career professional just weeks after giving birth to her son, and her hopes of bringing a WNBA team back to Houston – whether it’s called the Comets or not.

Then, our non-experts weigh in on The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of the week.

And we discover EarShot Readings, a program offering young and aspiring composers the opportunity to have their pieces performed and recorded under the mentorship of established composers. It happened this week in Houston, and ROCO will host a presentation of some of his work today at 11 a.m. at Kinder High School for the Performing and Visual Arts.

Audio from today’s show will be available after 11:00 a.m. CT. We also have a free podcast here, on iTunes, Stitcher and other apps.
