On Thursday's show: Houston police recovered the body of a man in White Oak Bayou Wednesday morning, the seventh body found in the bayous in about a month. Investigators do not suspect foul play. Houston Public Media's Michael Adkison brings us the latest on this particular instance and what law enforcement has to say about the frequency in which human remains are found in the city's bayous.

Also this hour: We examine what renewed efforts to ramp up coal production might mean for the energy industry here in Texas.

And Chef Adán Medrano discusses his new cookbook celebrating the plant-based traditions of Texas Mexican-American families and their ancestors.
