Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, ArtHouse Houston Executive Director Maureen McNamara joins us in the show’s first hour to discuss a local effort to preserve the Garden Oaks Theater, one of several neighborhood cinemas built in Houston between the 1930s and 1950s.
Also, in the first hour, we’re joined by Rice University postdoctoral researcher and Houston Texans cheerleader, HTC Kelly, who discusses how she balances these two dual roles.

In the second hour of the show, Jim Morris, Founder, Executive Director and Editor-in-Chief of Public Health Watch, helps us understand a new report highlighting pollution in Texas and what this continued growth could mean for Texans.
Plus, we also chat with jazz trumpeter, vocalist, and composer, Jumaane Smith, who tells us all about his Hobby Center concert LOVE ALWAYS: Celebrating the Romance of Nat King Cole, in which he’ll perform renditions of Cole’s most famous songs.
And, as always, Ernie and Frank talk about today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Houstonians concerned that their wages aren’t keeping up with the cost of living, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s heated congressional hearing, Harris County seeking a restraining order against the federal government to halt FEMA layoffs, and more.
