About this listen

On today’s Hello Houston, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste weigh in on today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including President Trump's new census and Texas AG Ken Paxton’s investigation into Beto O’Rourke’s political group.

In the first hour of the show, we hear Ernie’s conversation with State Representative Gene Wu, who shares his thoughts on being singled out by Governor Greg Abbott as the “ringleader” in having House Democrats leave the state and break quorum.

Also, we’re joined by Sixto Wagan, Executive Director of the BIPOC Art Network & Fund (BANF) and visual artist, graphic designer, and photographer Phillip Pyle II, who share their thoughts on why Houston has emerged as the cultural and artistic epicenter of Texas.

Then, in the show’s second hour, John Lienhard, founder of the long-running, Houston Public Media-produced radio program The Engines of our Ingenuity, joins us to discuss his involvement with the program since it began in 1988, their first AI-generated episode, and much more.
