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

On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by the Houston Chronicle’s Opinion and Community Engagement Editor, Evan Mintz<\/a>, who explains how their endorsement process works for elections and what goes into deciding which candidates deserve their support.<\/p>\n

Then, we turn to weekend events and talk with original MTV VJs Alan Hunter and Mark Goodman, who both join us to reflect on the MTV era and tell us all about tonight’s free Neon Nostalgic<\/a> performance at Miller Outdoor Theatre.<\/p>\n

In the second hour of the show, Harris County District Attorney Sean Teare<\/a> shares new details from his office’s independent investigation<\/a> into the ICE operation that led to a Houston man being struck by an agent\u2019s vehicle<\/a> and what comes next. <\/p>\n

Plus, in our regular Friday feature, Tessa Takes On, Tessa talks with Tierra “TT On The Mic<\/a>” Chapman, who discusses the great responsibility that comes with holding a microphone and her journey from the Prairie View A&M Marching Storm to Texas Southern University’s Ocean of Soul.<\/p>\n

And, as always, our hosts Tessa Barrera and Ernie Manouse talk about the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including President Trump canceling the livestream of the Fort Hood shooter’s execution and a Texas school district canceling a high school production of Little Shop of Horrors over the casting of a female student in a traditionally male role. <\/p>\n
