Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, we celebrate the first anniversary of our show’s launch with returning guests, including our first guest, City Controller Chris Hollins, who discusses the state of the city one year after joining us on our first show.
Then, Houston comedian and content creator Chinedu joins us to celebrate the show’s anniversary, having also joined us on our first show, as well as talk about his stand-up comedy work and his love for Houston.

In the show’s second hour, Chris Ballard, President and CEO of the Memorial Park Conservancy, joins us to talk about the park’s transformative 100-acre project that will honor its World War I roots while also introducing new spaces for recreation, learning, and reflection.
Plus, Back to the Future co-writer Bob Gale talks to us about the iconic movie’s lasting impact, his involvement with the franchise, and its Broadway musical adaptation, which will run in Houston through Sunday, April 5.
And, as always, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste talk about today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including NASA beginning the countdown to launch the Artemis II mission, which they discuss with Houston Public Media reporter Michael Adkison, and YouTube children’s creator Ms. Rachel calling for the closure of an ICE detention center in Texas.
