Hello Houston (April 8, 2026)

On today’s Hello Houston, we talk with Dan Anthony, Executive Director at We Pay the Tariffs, who discusses where we are now after a year of President Trump’s tariffs, what this past year has meant for small businesses, and what comes next.

Next, actress Kelly Denice Taylor, who’s currently playing Jane Seymour in the national tour of the hit musical SIX, joins us to tell us all about the show, which is running now at the Hobby Center through Sunday.

In the second hour, we’re joined by Chiqui Sanchez Kennedy, Executive Director of Galveston-Houston Immigrant Representation Project, who tells us about their work providing free legal services to immigrants across the region and their upcoming spring fundraiser to help support their mission.

Plus, we chat with Brian Frazier, Faith Malton, and Zach Ruhl, who tell us about the non-profit Camp For All, how they create memorable experiences for children and adults with challenging illnesses, disabilities, or special needs, and their upcoming annual “Over The Edge” event.

And, as always, Ernie and Celeste talk about the top stories of the day at the top of each hour, including the U.S. and Iran agreeing to a two-week-long ceasefire and the Houston City Council voting to approve an ordinance designed to reduce cooperation between the Houston Police Department and ICE.
