\t\t\t\t\t\"HelloHello Houston: Where Houston Talks!<\/p>\n

On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by Dr. Daniel Hamermesh<\/a>, an emeritus professor of economics at the University of Texas, who discusses the latest jobs report, what’s behind the rise in job losses, and what this means for Houstonians.<\/p>\n

Then, we talk with literacy activist and influencer Oliver James, who shares his experience with adult illiteracy and his journey of learning to read with the help of TikTok.<\/p>\n

In the second hour of the show, we revisit Celeste’s in-depth interview with Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo<\/a> for her Cold Coffee series as part of our month-long celebration of Women’s History Month. To watch the full interview, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Plus, Alan Steinberg, a volunteer board member for the local non-profit Keep Houston Beautiful<\/a>, tells us about the organization and their mission to ensure the city is kept clean through a combination of education and community partnerships.<\/p>\n

And, as always, Ernie, Celeste, and Frank talk about today’s top headlines at the top of each hour, including the death of a Georgia teacher after a student prank went wrong, Houston’s public transit system receiving more than $9 million<\/a> in federal funding for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and the latest developments on the war with Iran.<\/p>\n
