We check in with Houston Public Media’s Michael Adkison on the FIFA World Cup<\/a>. We recap Sunday’s match in Houston between Germany and Cura\u00e7ao and preview Wednesday\u2019s match between Portugal and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. And we discuss how the Fan Fest and other related events are going so far.<\/p>\n

Also this hour: Ahead of Juneteenth, we reflect on how Black communities have commemorated freedom, preserved their history, and fought for full citizenship through generations of celebration and remembrance with historian Blair LM Kelley<\/a>, author of Black Freedom: The Visual History of Juneteenth and Emancipation Days<\/a>. She will discuss the book during an author talk at Kindred Stories<\/a> on June 18 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n

Then, veterinarian Dr. Lori Teller<\/a> answers listener questions about their pets.<\/p>\n

And to cap or not to cap \u2014 that’s the question Major League Baseball is wrestling with when it comes to its salaries. Jeff Balke<\/a>, co-host of the Bleav in Astros podcast, explains the argument and how it could lead to no Astros games for some \u2014 or all \u2014 of next season.<\/p>\n
