On today’s Hello Houston, we speak with Dr. Amier Haidar, a cardiovascular disease fellow at UTHealth Houston, who breaks down the findings of a new study that’s raising concerns about the impact of ultra-processed foods on heart health.

Then, former University of Houston golfer and PGA Hall of Fame member Jim McLean joins us to tell us all about the glory days of Houston golf as written about in his new book, The Houston Dynasty: Tales from College Golf’s Greatest Team.

In the second hour, we hear another of Celeste’s interviews from last week’s CeraWEEK energy conference, in which she talks with Paul Champion, Chief Operating Officer at Adaptive Construction Solutions (ACS), and Marc Spieler, Senior Director of Energy at NVIDIA, who both discuss training workers for energy and infrastructure jobs.

Plus, our hosts and listeners share the latest things that are currently taking over all their free time as part of our regular Thursday feature, Current Obsessions.

And, as always, Ernie, Frank, and Celeste discuss today’s top stories at the top of each hour, including yesterday’s launch of the Artemis II, a city council proposal aimed at reducing coordination between the Houston Police Department and ICE, President Trump's firing of Pam Bondi as Attorney General, and more.
