On Friday's show: With the state's newly redrawn congressional maps, does the creation of several predominantly Hispanic districts help those areas or disenfranchise them? Gabby Birenbaum of the Texas Tribune tells us more.

Also this hour: Sitar maestro Purbayan Chatterjee joins us and performs in studio ahead of a concert Saturday at the University of Houston.

Then, from military helicopters flying over Houston as part of a training exercise, to a Houston-based company that owns strip clubs across the nation facing bribery charges over an alleged scheme to avoid paying taxes, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And we reflect on the iconic Houston music station KLOL with the director of a documentary about it called Runaway Radio.
