On today’s Hello Houston, Ernie and Celeste talk with Jeff Miller, Healthcare Policy Specialist for Disability Rights Texas, who breaks down government cuts that could have devastating consequences for millions of people with disabilities, especially here in Texas, in the show’s first hour.
Also, in the first hour of the show, DJ Sun, founder of the Houston-area live music venue The Flat, tells us about a week-long series of events that will celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Then, in the show’s second hour, we are joined by Scott Burns, Vice President of Growth at the Montgomery County Food Bank, who discusses food bank shortages and the impact they’re having on working families, rural communities, and seniors trying to stay fed.
Plus, food and drink writer Maggie Hennessy joins us to discuss restaurant etiquette and help us all navigate “the right rules” for dining out.
And, as always, Ernie and Celeste will talk about the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including the release of hostages as part of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, the end of the historic Hilton Americas-Houston strike, and President Trump reinstating Columbus Day.
