Tom Hanks on space (March 10, 2025)

On Monday’s show: Ahead of an appearance at Space Center Houston to premiere his film The Moonwalkers, we discuss all things space with actor, producer, director, and aerospace advocate Tom Hanks.

Also this hour: We get some updates on developments in the city of Houston, including Mayor John Whitmire’s plans for a hiring freeze as the city faces a more than $330 million budget deficit and plans for a 700,000-square foot expansion of the George R. Brown Convention Center.

Then, Meg Tapp from The Garden Club of Houston answers gardening questions, which you can send yours to talk@houstonmatters.org.

And we get an update on Houston sports Jeff Balke, co-host of the Bleav in Astros podcast.
