Mail service delays (Jan. 29, 2024)

On Monday's show: Since December, some Houstonians have been experiencing major mail delivery delays (https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news...) , which the Postal Service says may not be resolved anytime soon. Houston Chronicle reporter Peter Warren (https://www.houstonchronicle.com/auth...)  explains why we’re seeing delays here (and not elsewhere) and what it has to do with the post office’s long-term plans.



Also this hour: Texas writer Ben Fountain (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Fou...)  talks about what the nation of Haiti has to tell the rest of the world about looming issues that may affect us. Fountain's longtime interest in the history and plight of Haiti has influenced his latest novel, Devil Makes Three (https://us.macmillan.com/books/978125...) , which he discusses at an Inprint event (https://inprinthouston.org/event/inpr...)  tonight.



Then, veterinarian Dr. Lori Teller (https://www.avma.org/about/avma-board...)  answers your pet care questions.
