Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!
On today’s Hello Houston, with major tech companies like Apple and Tesla investing heavily in new manufacturing facilities across the Houston area, we discuss what this could mean for jobs, tech investment, and the region’s economy with Houston Business Journal reporter Jishnu Nair.
Then, we learn all about Reel Girls HTX, an all-women fishing group focused on building sisterhood, sharing skills, and making the water more welcoming for anglers of all experience levels, with its founder Keyahra Hayes, and members Nahzarah and Sedaja.

In the second hour, Houston area attorney Charles D. Adams, who represents the family of John Mendoza Jr., discusses the charges against former Brazoria County deputy Kevin Tippit and the newly released body camera footage in the fatal shooting of the 18-year-old Texas State University student.
Plus, we turn to music and hear Hello Houston producer William Menjivar talk with Madison Sutton, founder and artistic director of Houston Music Classifieds, who explains how the Solar Flare Music Festival is putting a spotlight on local music artists.
And, as always, our hosts Tessa Barrera and Ernie Manouse discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including the passing of singer-songwriter Dolly Parton and HPD Police Chief Noe Diaz not showing up for what was meant to be his first public accounting of the department’s cooperation with ICE, which they discuss with Houston Public Media reporter Dominic Anthony Walsh.
