Hello Houston is your connection to the heart of the Bayou City. Every weekday, we dive deep into the stories that matter to Houstonians — from breaking local news to cultural happenings, community voices, and the everyday joys and challenges of life in our vibrant city.
On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by Amanda Seitz, a KFF health reporter, who discusses the uncertainty currently surrounding the Affordable Care Act and how much coverage will cost in the first hour of the show.
Also, in the first hour, Nerdtropolis founder and host Sean Tajipour gives us his movie recommendations for Halloween.
Then, in the second hour of the show, we hear an excerpt from the latest installment of Ernie’s “InnerVIEWS” series, in which he chats with scientist, pediatrician, and advocate for global health, Dr. Peter Hotez, about the changing views he has witnessed surrounding vaccines and autism.
Plus, our hosts and listeners share the things that are currently taking over all their free time for our regular Thursday feature – “Current Obsessions.”
And, as always, Ernie and Celeste talk about the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including the delay of a proposed ordinance to enhance inspections and fines for allegedly problematic Houston apartments, Houstonians spending a long amount of time stuck in traffic, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson.
