Next, we hear from Brooke Yahney, the Wildlife Director of the Houston SPCA Wildlife Center, who breaks down their work providing emergency care for native wildlife, and what Houstonians should do if they encounter an animal in need of medical attention.

In the show’s second hour, we turn to education and talk with Betsy Mayotte, President of the Institute of Student Loan Advisors, who discusses a recent landmark court decision that could help over 500 thousand Americans with student loan debt, who might be eligible, and what borrowers should do next.

Also, Texas journalist and founder of the Preserving Essential Cultures and Narratives (PECAN) project, DaLyah Jones, joins us to discuss her essay honoring the Black woodswomen of deep East Texas and why their stories deserve to be preserved.

Plus, our hosts, Houston Public Media's Michael Adkison and Donna Reed, discuss today's top stories at the top of each hour, including professors suing the Texas A&M University System over a policy that restricts teaching about race and gender, and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa calls in to discuss bringing her campaign to Houston today to commemorate the 61st Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act.
