On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by actor Mark Ivy, who tells us all about his role in the Theatre Under the Stars production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, in the first hour of the show.
Then, in the second hour, we hear from Reverend Michael E. Garrett, co-chair of the Public Relations subcommittee of the Houston White Cane Safety Day Committee, who tells us about this event, his experience as a blind man, and the accessibility challenges faced by Houston’s blind community.
Plus, we’re also joined by Eric Berger, a Houston-based meteorologist and editor of Space City Weather, who gives us the latest on Hurricane Melissa after it made landfall in Jamaica.
And, as always, Ernie, Celeste, and Frank discuss the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including a federal appeals court rehearing a lawsuit over a drag show ban at West Texas A&M University and former Vice President Kamala Harris saying she might run for President again.
