Hello Houston (October 6, 2025)

On today’s Hello Houston, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste talk with Dr. Dwane Broussard, president of the Harris County Medical Society, in the show’s first hour, who breaks down the rise of cell phone bans in our schools and the continued importance of childhood vaccinations as we enter another flu season.

Also, in the show’s first hour, we’re joined by Paula Kolvig, the rainforest curator at Moody Gardens, who tells us all about their new baby pygmy slow loris, one of the most endangered primates in the world.

Then, in the second hour of the show, we hear the latest installment in Frank’s “Friends of Frank” series, in which he talks with Admiral Scott Powell, the 2025 President of the Texas Navy Association, who discusses the history of the Texas Navy and what it does today.

Plus, we also talk with former FBI profiler Dr. Mary Ellen O’Toole, one of the world’s leading experts on criminal behavior, who discusses her book Dangerous Instincts: How Gut Feelings Betray Us.

And, as always, our hosts discuss the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including the University of Texas considering the Trump administration’s priorities for federal funding, Governor Greg Abbott authorizing the Texas National Guard to be sent to other states, and more.
