Hello Houston – The Commuter Cut (August 21, 2025)

In today’s edition of “The Commuter Cut,” Houston City Council Member Mario Castillo (District H) discusses the launch of a pilot program to hold public comment sessions in the evening, giving more working residents a chance to speak directly to their local government.

Also, we discuss the latest on the Russia-Ukraine conflict and what happens next with Vitalii Tarasiuk, the Consul General of Ukraine in Houston. Then, our hosts share their weekly "Current Obsessions,” for our regular Thursday feature in which we discuss the things that are currently taking over all our free time.
