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 break down a new study about abandoned oil wells known as “zombie wells,” with Dr. Michael Nikolaou from the University of Houston’s Cullen College of Engineering and reservoir engineer Muhammad Haseeb Muktar.
Then, we hear from Michelle Nahsser, the interim executive director of the area non-profit Girls on the Run Greater Houston, which works to inspire young girls to recognize their inner strength and increase their level of physical activity.
Also, we talk with Officer Ken Nealy, 1st Vice President of the Houston Police Officers Union, who discusses their recent recruitment call to NYPD officers who want to leave New York over Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win.
