On today’s Hello Houston, we take an in-depth look into the Amazon Web Services outage with University of Houston cybersecurity expert Chris Bronk, and Will Wright, Chief Creative Officer of the Galveston Historical Foundation, tells us about the many haunted history tours they’re offering this month in the show’s first hour.
Then, in the second hour of the show, we’re joined by Houston City Council member Dr. Carolyn Evans-Shabazz, who addresses concerns over the fates of the George Floyd mural and the Black Lives Matter mural on Alabama Street following the recent removal of Montrose’s rainbow crosswalks, and more.
Plus, we learn about Alley Theatre’s production of The Body Snatcher, with the show’s director, Brandon Weinbrenner, who also tells us about how the play was brought to life onstage, its special effects, and what audiences can expect from the production.
And, as always, Ernie, Celeste, and Frank talk about the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including criticisms of President Trump’s White House ballroom project and the possibility of no SNAP benefits if the government shutdown continues.
