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

On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by Houston Public Media reporter Bianca Seward<\/a>, who helps break down the upcoming Cy-Fair ISD Board Election<\/a>, and Ghosts of Galveston author, Kathleen Maca<\/a>, shares some spooky ghost stories from the Houston\/Galveston region, in the show’s first hour.<\/p>\n

Then, in the second hour of the show, Gail Buttorff<\/a>, a research associate professor at the Hobby School of Public Affairs, tells us about the findings of the 2025 Texas Trends Survey<\/a> from the University of Houston and Texas Southern University, which includes how Texans are coping with the rising cost of energy.<\/p>\n

Plus, we share a rundown of events happening in Houston tonight and this weekend for a special Halloween edition of our regular Friday feature \u2013 “Last Minute Plans.”<\/p>\n

And, as always, Ernie and Celeste discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Harris County commissioners supporting the idea of acquiring park land for Ben Taub Hospital’s expansion<\/a>, King Charles III stripping his brother of all of his royal titles, President Trump calling for the filibuster to be scrapped to end the government shutdown, and more.<\/p>\n
