from Houston Matters Hosted by Michael Hagerty

On Monday's show: The Texas Supreme Court blocked Galveston County from using a new precinct map in the November election. And Fort Bend County approved its budget and a lower tax rate amid a heated meeting as Democrats returned to court last week. We get updates on both stories from Houston Public Media reporters. Also this hour: On the anniversary of Francis Scott Key writing the words that would become the lyrics of The Star-Spangled Banner, we ask what words you would want included, what themes, concepts, characters, places and events you’d add to an anthem about Houston? Then, we get some advice on gardening in Houston. And we recap the Texans' season-opening loss to the Bills and check in on the Astros. Watch

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar Entertainment Radio Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar was a classic American radio drama that aired on CBS Radio from February 18, 1949, to September 30, 1962. The show starred Bob Bailey as Johnny Dollar, a freelance insurance investigator with a knack for getting into trouble. Each episode followed Dollar as he investigated a new case, from insurance fraud to murder. The show was known for its fast-paced action, witty dialogue, and iconic sound effects. The show's signature element was Dollar's expense account, which he would read aloud at the end of each episode. This often humorous list of items, such as "50 cents for chewing gum - to keep my brain working under pressure," gave listeners a glimpse into Dollar's world and personality.
