Hello Houston Full Episode - March 13, 2026

Описание: Today on Hello Houston, you’ve probably seen the ads for prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket, but what are they and how do they work? Dustin Gouker, publisher of The Event Horizon newsletters, discusses the rise in prediction markets and what this means for our society. Entertainment reporter Dave Morales talks about this weekend’s Oscars. Dom Finetti and Patrick McAlexander tell us about the award-winning a cappella group Space City Sound. Plus, we share Last Minute Plans to fill your weekend.

We also discuss the big topics of the day, including Buc-ee’s gets and “F” rating from the Better Business Bureau, Texas SNAP benefits will no longer be able to be used on sugary food and drinks, and more.

Hello Houston is your connection to the heart of the Bayou City. 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.

Hosts Ernie Manouse, Frank Billingsley, and Celeste Díaz Schurman bring you thoughtful discussions, insightful interviews, and a mix of topics including local politics and city events, Houston’s ever-changing food scene, and feel-good stories from your neighborhood.
