On Wednesday's show: With Donald Trump's second inauguration less than two weeks away and another session of the Texas Legislature just days away, we preview the early days of the second Trump administration and the 89th Texas Legislature as we discuss the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

Also this hour: In this month's installment of The Full Menu, Houston food writers discuss their favorite places to get crawfish and other Cajun and Creole dishes.

And we revisit the story of the time Russian leader Boris Yeltsin visited a Houston grocery store and the role it played in in ending communism.
