In today’s edition of “The Commuter Cut,” we learn about Texas Children’s Kangaroo Crew, with their program director, Dr. Basheer Ahmed and critical care nurse Lamont Seltzer, who tell us about the medical transport team's history and the critical care they provide to children and adults.
Then, we hear from Greg Newkirk, a paranormal researcher and host of the Haunted Objects Podcast, who tells us all about the show he’s performing tonight at the Hobby Center, Haunted Objects Live!
Also, we discuss how the government shutdown is affecting workers, markets and the broader economy with Dr. John Diamond, Senior Director of the Center for Tax and Budget Policy at Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy, who helps us break it all down.
