Also this hour: Classes begin for HISD students on Monday. Kids returning to class means another year of close contact, germs getting passed around, and a variety of other health-related questions and considerations. We talk through them with pediatrician Dr. Desiree Evans from Texas Children's.

Then, we break down The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of the week.

And we meet the director and one of the actors from the regional premiere of the newly revised West End production of Mean Girls: The Musical, on stage at Queensberry Theatre through Aug. 16.
