In the second hour, we’re joined by Harrison Guy, the founder and artistic director of Urban Souls Dance Company, who talks to us about how he’s honoring the legacy of Prairie View A&M University through performance as the university celebrates its 150th anniversary this year, and why telling these stories through art matters.
Plus, we also talk with Matthew Tabor, the art director and owner of the Houston-based design studio Letterset, who tells us about his work designing logos for several Houston area restaurants and small businesses.
And, as always, our hosts Tessa Barrera and Ernie Manouse discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including the latest on the developing tropical disturbance in the Gulf, which they discuss with Houston Chronicle newsroom meteorologist Justin Ballard, Gov. Abbot ordering state agencies to pause the funding of Flock cameras, President Trump announcing plans to create a space-focused academy, and more.
