How to Feel More Connected in Houston
Description
Houston has a lot of great things about it, but finding places to hang out is not one of them. Why is that? Host Raheel Ramzanali is talking to Regina Lankenau, a columnist for the Houston Chronicle's opinion desk, and executive producer Laura Isensee about why it’s a struggle to find informal community spaces in Houston, and how we can fix that. Plus, some of our own favorite hangout spots!
Stories and places we talked about on today’s show:
- Houston makes hanging out hard. We need more 'third places.' | Opinion
- Can we make room for fun in downtown Houston? I rode an e-scooter to find out. | Opinion
