Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by Nikolas Guggenberger, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Houston Law Center, who breaks down a landmark case examining whether social media companies have designed their platforms to be addictive for younger users.
Then, New York Times best-selling author Meg Medina, known for writing picture books, middle grade, and young adult fiction, joins us to tell us more about her work, her newest book, Graciela in the Abyss, and her upcoming Houston event.

In the second hour of the show, we talk with Texas Tribune reporter Kayla Guo about how social media influencers are driving the Texas Democratic Senate race, and what this rising influence tells us about the changing landscape of political discourse in Texas.
Plus, Abdullah Antepli, the recently appointed president of the Rothko Chapel, discusses this iconic Houston landmark, how it serves the community, and what’s next as it enters a new chapter of leadership.
And, as always, Ernie, Celeste, and Frank talk about today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including the families of Camp Mystic victims suing Texas health officials for allegedly licensing the camp without an evacuation plan and the launch of the autonomous vehicle company Waymo in Houston.
