Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, we talk with Dr. Anitra Beasley, an associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, who shares her thoughts on President Trump’s new leader of the FDA and how this choice could impact women’s health.
Then, we turn to the arts and debut the first edition of Ernie’s On the Marquee, in which he learns all about the upcoming production Gloria: A Life with Janye Anderson, founder and Executive Director of Cypress Stage, and the show’s director Deborah Hope.

In the second hour of the show, we’re joined by three-time Olympian and 1996 gold medalist, Dominique Dawes, who tells us about her new Houston-based gymnastics academy and how it helps kids build strength, confidence and a love of movement.
Plus, Ann Dang, co-founder of Asian Streetness, and Thanh Le, chair of the Vietnamese Culture and Science Association, tell us about the upcoming Việt Cultural Fest, the largest Vietnamese festival in Texas, which will be held this Saturday, September 12, at Reliant Center.
And, as always, our hosts Tessa Barrera and Ernie Manouse discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Latino lawmakers calling on Democratic leaders to invest in the Texas Governor’s race, Lindsay Clancy’s attorney asking President Trump to pardon her, and the Republican midterm convention in Dallas, which they discuss with Nate Hurst, a Political Editor for C-SPAN.
