Hello Houston: The Commuter Cut is your connection to the heart of the Bayou City, but shorter, for our busy commuters. Every weekday, we dive deep into the stories that matter to Houstonians — from breaking local news to cultural happenings, community voices, and the everyday joys and challenges of life in our vibrant city.
In today's edition of "The Commuter Cut," we discuss the United States’ shrinking immigrant population and how this could impact the country’s economic outlook with Bill King, a fellow in public finance at Rice University’s Baker Institute.
Then, we’re joined by legendary American trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, who discusses his career and upcoming concert at the Hobby Center with the world-renowned Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.
