Hello Houston – The Commuter Cut (June 12, 2025)

In today’s edition of “The Commuter Cut,” Ernie, Frank, and Celeste talk with Dr. Jeff Temple, a licensed psychologist and Associate Dean of Clinical Research at the UTHealth School of Behavioral Health Sciences, about summer-pattern seasonal affective disorder, a form of seasonal depression where individuals experience mood changes and depressive symptoms during the summer months.

Then, we hear from Rice University's Dr. Weston Twardowski who joins us to discuss a special project to preserve the voices and stories of Indigenous people here in Texas. Plus, we also hear Celeste's conversation with Lachlan Gillespie and Tsehay Hawkins of the Australian children’s music group The Wiggles, who are playing in Houston tonight.
