On Wednesday's show: We discuss the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup. Also this hour: Today is National Grouch Day . Since at least the mid 1970s, the day has celebrated grouches everywhere, including and highlighting Oscar the Grouch of Sesame Street fame. It’s billed as a day to embrace the inner grouch within us all, and maybe find a way to laugh about our sometimes over-the-top grumpiness. But does it seem like grouchiness is having too much of a moment? That too many of us, too often, are too angry, by default? We talk it over. And jazz saxophonist Walter Smith III talks about how growing up in Houston shaped his musical career. He pays homage to his home town in his latest album, wrly titled three of us are from Houston a nd Reuben is not . He performs from that recording, along with fellow Houston natives Jason Moran and Kendrick Scott, in a concert for DACAMERA Friday night at the Wortham Center.
