Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, Vincent Powell, a filmmaker and professor in Texas Southern University’s Radio, Television, and Film department, helps us unpack Paramount Skydance’s acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery and what it could mean for the future of movies and streaming.
Then, Houston Public Media City Hall reporter Dominic Anthony Walsh joins us for this week’s HPM in Focus, to take a closer look at the sharp decline in the Houston Police Department’s cite-and-release program.

In the second hour of the show, we turn to health policy and talk with New York Times FDA reporter Christina Jewett, who breaks down Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s investigation into pediatricians and drugmakers over how they handle childhood vaccines.
And finally, our hosts and listeners share the latest things that have been taking over all their free time as part of our regular Thursday feature, Current Obsessions. Share your Current Obsessions with us anytime by emailing us at talk@hellohouston.org.
And, as always, our hosts Tessa Barrera and Ernie Manouse talk about the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including Governor Abbott and Texas AG Ken Paxton adopting a hard stance against data centers, Kimberly Guilfoyle resigning as ambassador to Greece, and Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico answering voter’s questions during a CNN town hall.
