Plus, we do our regular Friday feature “Last Minute Plans,” in which our hosts share a comprehensive rundown of events going down in the Houston area this weekend, while they, and Hello Houston listeners, share their own plans for the weekend.
And, as always, Ernie Manouse and guest host Deborah Hope talk about today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Houston officials bidding to host the Women’s World Cup in 2031, the box-office success of Christopher Nolan’s film The Odyssey, and President Trump considering a massive escalation in the war with Iran.
