Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, we spotlight the Harris County Judge debate that Houston Public Media is hosting tonight with HPM reporters Andrew Schneider and Sarah Grunau, who will both be involved in the debate.
Then, Houston Public Media reporter Bianca Seward helps us understand why elections for the Texas State Board of Education could shape what more than five million students learn in the classroom for years to come in this week’s edition of HPM in Focus.

In the second hour, we discuss Houston native and NFL quarterback Jalen Hurts’ season-ending blood clot diagnosis with Dr. Daniel Hermann, an interventional cardiologist with Memorial Hermann, who explains how these conditions develop, how they’re treated, and whether these complications can be prevented.
And finally, our hosts and listeners share the latest things that have been taking over all their free time as part of our regular Thursday feature, Current Obsessions. Share your Current Obsessions with us anytime by emailing us at talk@hellohouston.org.
And, as always, our hosts Tessa Barrera and Ernie Manouse discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including President Trump saying he’s requiring data center builders to provide their own electricity, voting rights advocates pushing to make Election Day a federal holiday, and voters receiving frequent political texts from campaigns. Plus, we hear Tessa’s conversation with Houston Rockets legend Rudy Tomjanovich at last night’s game.
