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 Communities In Schools of Houston and their upcoming fundraiser with Houston barbecue restaurant The Pit Room, with its owner, Michael Sambrooks, and the event's co-chairs, Jen Espey and Jen Moss.
Then, we talk with Deborah Birge, a former rancher, who tells us more about the current state of the Texas cattle industry after the Trump administration announced plans to quadruple low-tariff imports of Argentine beef.
Plus, Hello Houston host Ernie Manouse joins us live from the second annual Round Top Film Festival, located in Round Top, Texas, where he chats with the festival’s artistic director, Blair Hunt, as well as actor Josh Hopkins and director Alfonso Maiorana.
