On today’s Hello Houston, we’re joined by Jelani Cobb, acclaimed historian, Pulitzer finalist, and Dean of Columbia’s Graduate School of Journalism, who talks to us about his new book, Three or More Is a Riot: Notes on How We Got Here: 2012-2025, in the first hour of the show.
Also, in the first hour, we talk with actor Tyler Jordan Wesley about his role in the North American tour of the Tony Award-winning musical The Outsiders, which runs at the Hobby Center through Sunday.
In the show's second hour, we hear from Texas State Representative James Talarico, who joins us to give us his thoughts on yesterday’s ruling on redistricting maps. Then, we revisit our interview with filmmaker Ken Burns and producer Sarah Botstein about their new documentary miniseries, The American Revolution, which is currently airing on TV8.
Plus, we also hear Hello Houston producer Garrett Bohlmann talk with YouTuber and science communicator Hank Green, who discusses his career making educational content online, how he manages to balance his various projects, and more.
And, as always, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including a federal judge ordering Conroe ISD to remove their Ten Commandments displays, the House and Senate approving a bill to release the Epstein files, and Gov. Abbott designating CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations.
