Hello Houston: Where Houston Talks!

Next, we discuss how ongoing conflicts in the Middle East are creating displacement and humanitarian challenges in the region with Kelsey Norman, a Fellow for the Middle East at Rice University’s Baker Institute, who also shares her thoughts on what this could mean for the future of the region.
And finally, we hear from Houston radio personality, Madd Hatta, who talks to us about touring libraries across the Houston area to share his newly released children’s book, Kase’s Little Adventures, what it teaches young readers, and where the idea for the book came from.
