On today’s Hello Houston, we speak with Dan Potter and Katherine Yang Bao from the Kinder Institute for Urban Research, who discuss a new study highlighting one of the Houston region’s fastest-growing and most diverse populations: Asian Americans.

Then, actor Zachary Keller joins us to discuss his role as Jacob Jankowski in the North American tour of the hit Broadway musical Water for Elephants, which is currently running at the Hobby Center through Sunday.

Plus, MFAH curator Cindy Peña and Arden Decker, associate director of the International Center for Art of the Americas, tell us about the museum’s new exhibition, Frida: The Making of an Icon, which explores the life and legacy of legendary artist Frida Kahlo.

And, as always, Ernie, Celeste, and Frank discuss today’s stories at the top of each hour, including Congress steering closer towards a possible partial government shutdown and protesters calling for the Houston City Council to cease all cooperation with ICE during a meeting yesterday.
