Hello Houston (July 31, 2025)

On today’s Hello Houston, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including Houston residents criticizing HPD for calls to ICE and a survey that found the most popular books currently taught in U.S. classrooms were all published more than 60 years ago.

In the first hour of the show, we dive into one of the most powerful — and often most misunderstood — institutions in American government: the Supreme Court, with Seth Chandler, Professor of Law at the University of Houston Law Center, who helps us break it all down.

Also, Houston actress Susan Koozin, currently playing Miss Marple in Agatha Christie’s The Mirror Crack’d, on stage at the Alley Theatre, tells us more about the production.

Then, in the show’s second hour, Dr. Robin Armstrong, who serves on the Finance Commission of Texas Republican National Committee as well as Commissioner for Precinct 4 in Galveston County, joins us to give us the republican view on redistricting.
