About this listen

A lot can happen in a week. Some of it good. Some of it bad. Some of it downright ugly. When faced with intriguing developments in the week’s news, we turn to a rotating panel of “non-experts” to parse The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly of it all.

This week, our panel weighs in on these stories:

  • The U.S. Mint officially stopped producing pennies
  • The world's largest cruise ship comes to Galveston in 2027
  • Michael Jackson charts a top 10 hit for the sixth consecutive decade

Our panel of non-experts this week includes:

  • Raúl Ramos, associate professor of history at the University of Houston
  • Houston Chronicle columnist Joy Sewing
  • Natalie Arceneaux, president of Arceneaux International Consulting
