Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, we talk with Alie Brumel of The Breasties and Michele Lampach of Bobbies for Change, who both tell us about Connie’s Bill and how it aims to help provide coverage for mothers who are medically unable to breastfeed their children.
Then, we talk with local comedian Liz Faublas-Wallace, who discusses how she made the move from journalism to comedy and how she found her voice on stage.

In the second hour, Stephanie Wittels Wachs, a Houston native and co-founder and CEO of Lemonada Media, talks about her new book, Last Day: How to Stop Losing Our Loved Ones to the Opioid Crisis, and how it examines the ongoing opioid crisis.
Plus, we do our regular Friday feature, Last Minute Plans, in which our hosts share a comprehensive rundown of events going down in the Houston area this weekend, while they, and Hello Houston listeners, share their own plans for the weekend.
And, as always, our hosts Tessa Barrera and Ernie Manouse talk about today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Macklemore donating $1 million to organizations that support Palestine, the holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial speaking out, and Harris County Commissioners Court approving a property tax increase, which they discuss with Sen. Paul Bettencourt.
