About
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!
