Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, Houston City Council Member Alejandra Salinas joins us to discuss tomorrow’s meeting over the city ordinance she spearheaded aimed at limiting HPD’s coordination with ICE agents, and what this could mean for Houston.
Next, we learn about Houston’s inaugural “Great Age on the Green” festival with Fritz McDonald, president and founder of the Houston-based non-profit, the Great Age Movement, and the Discovery Green Conservancy’s marketing director, Frankie Ortega.

In the show’s second hour, we talk with Dr. Richard Stoll, professor of political science at Rice University, who shares his thoughts on the current state of peace negotiations between the United States and Iran, as well as how these kinds of negotiations work.
Plus, Misty Flores, Assistant Curator at MFAH’s Rienzi, tells us all about their new exhibition, Midcentury Menu: Dining in the Atomic Age, and how it explores how food became redefined during postwar America.
Also, Ernie Manouse and guest host Chau Nguyen discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Houston Mayor John Whitmire’s new podcast costing up to $60,000 in taxpayer money, plans being approved for President Trump’s proposed “triumphal arch,” and the Houston City Council voting on amending the ordinance limiting coordination between HPD and ICE.
