The top local stories this morning from the KERA Newsroom: Arlington will be one of three stops for the EPA – the agency is holding public hearings on new federal rules to reduce smog.

On the small stage, Stagger Lee will make its debut at the Dallas Theater Center. Composer Justin Ellington explains the challenge of capturing the spirit of a decade of African-American music in a few chords. Finally, our Big Screen team sits down with an Alzheimer’s expert to deconstruct Still Alice.

You can listen to the segments weekdays at 8:20 a.m. and 6:20 p.m. on KERA 90.1 FM. 

Former KERA staffer Krystina Martinez was an assistant producer. She produced local content for Morning Edition and KERANews.org. She also produced The Friday Conversation, a weekly series of conversations with North Texas newsmakers. Krystina was also the backup newscaster for the Texas Standard.
