On Tuesday’s show: The Annie E. Casey Foundation’s annual Kids Count report is out, and it doesn’t have very flattering things to say about the well-being of children in Texas. We discuss whether the report aligns with what Bob Sanborn of Children at Risk is seeing locally and statewide.

Also this time: Just in time for summer, dermatologist Dr. Oyetewa Oyerinde answers skincare questions. She is director of the Skin of Color Clinic at Baylor College of Medicine.

And film critic Joe Leydon looks back at Hitchcock’s classic film Dial M for Murderand we talk with two actors about an adaptation of the story on stage now at the Alley Theater.

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.
