Hello Houston (June 24, 2025)

On today’s Hello Houston, our hosts discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour including President Trump’s Iran and Israel ceasefire comments, Texas public school students being required to keep their cellphones locked away during school hours, and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick’s reaction to Gov. Abbott vetoing a ban on all THC products.

In the first hour of the show, Ernie, Frank and Celeste talk with property tax expert Ryan Dean who joins us to discuss how new Texas Legislation could impact your pocketbook, as well as answer listeners’ questions.   

Also, The Catastrophic Theatre’s Tamarie Cooper and her onstage “partner in crime” Kyle Sturdivant discuss The Tamarie Cooper Show, which is playing in Houston this weekend.

Then, in the second hour, we break down Houston’s “Road Rage” problem with UT-Health Psychiatrist Bobby Nix. Plus, Gaathri Chakka and Anushka Polapally, co-founders of the youth-led nonprofit Peared, discuss how they are reimagining how local communities connect with volunteer opportunities.
