Also this hour: Actor and musician Donald Glover, who is 42, recently revealed he suffered a stroke last year and received treatment here in Houston. That news defies the false assumption that only older people experience strokes. A local doctor discusses why more of us are facing some serious health problems earlier in life.
Then, we talk with comedian Jay Jurden, who performs Dec. 5-6 at Punch Line Houston.
And we meet the Jordan Family, a jazz group from New Orleans that’s performing Saturday night at the Eldorado Ballroom.
Audio from today’s show will be available after 11 a.m. CT. We also offer a free podcast here, on iTunes, Stitcher and other apps.
