Hello Houston (April 21, 2025)

On today’s “Hello Houston,” Ernie, Frank and Celeste discuss the big topics of the day including the passing of Pope Francis, sponsors for the White House Easter Egg Roll, and the Rockets’ playoff run at the top of each hour.

Also, in the first hour, Environment Texas representative Luke Metzger joins in to discuss SB 819, which creates extra taxes/regulations on solar and wind products. We then learn more about 610 Record Manufacturing, Houston’s only record manufacturer, from its owner Joel Hoyle.

Then, in the second hour, Dr. Craig Considine, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Rice University, calls in to share his thoughts on the legacy of Pope Francis following his passing. Plus, we discuss the facts and fiction of artificial intelligence with Josh Kaisen, Managing Director of the Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Institute at UH.
