On Wednesday's show: We reflect on the life and legacy of former Houston Mayor and Congressman Sylvester Turner, who passed away at age 70.

We also get reactions to President Trump’s address before a joint session of Congress and discuss the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

And we talk with Houston musician Ben Chavez about his concept album Last Day, County Fair. It draws inspiration from his own life, following a young man coming to terms with his queer identity in a town where he feels misunderstood. He performs music from the album on March 6 and 7 at the Wortham Center.
