Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, we discuss the future of Houston’s iconic landmark, the Astrodome, with Beth Wiedower Jackson, executive director of the Astrodome Conservancy, who also tells us about the group’s efforts to save the dome.
Then, we’re joined by DACAMERA Artistic Director Sarah Rothenberg and cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton, who tell us about D’Est en musique, an upcoming live performance that will run for two nights at the Hobby Center.

In the show’s second hour, Brian Ellison, senior program manager for the area non-profit Project Row Houses, breaks down their Business Residency Program, an initiative that provides affordable space and support to help local entrepreneurs grow while staying rooted in Houston’s Third Ward neighborhood.
Plus, our hosts and listeners share a rundown of the things that are currently taking over all their free time, as part of our regular Thursday feature, “Current Obsessions.”
And, as always, Ernie and Celeste discuss today’s top headlines at the top of each hour, including Texas health officials proposing significant fee increases for hemp businesses and Gov. Greg Abbott calling for people who obstruct immigration enforcement to be arrested.
