Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, Dr. Tina Petersen, executive director of Harris County Flood Control District, joins us to help break down the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s draft for the updated Harris County floodplain maps, the first countywide update since 2007.
Then, Lisa Descant, CEO of the non-profit Communities In Schools of Houston, tells us more about their work across the Greater Houston area and their report for the 2024-2025 school year.

In the second hour of the show, we hear the latest edition of Frank’s Friends of Frank series in which he talks with broadcaster Brent Goff, the Chief News Anchor at DW News in Berlin, Germany, who discusses his news career and shares his thoughts on how Europeans currently view Americans.
Plus, acclaimed playwright James Anthony Tyler tells us about his work and his role as head of the Playwriting & Dramaturgy program at the University of Houston.
And, as always, Ernie, Celeste, and Frank discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Stephen Colbert criticizing CBS for allegedly blocking an interview with James Talarico, and NAACP Houston president Bishop James Dixon II tells us about a community prayer vigil he’s officiating tonight to honor the Reverend Jesse Jackson.
