FM-Houston is now called HOUSTON P.A.

and podcast! |
FM Houston is our public affairs show, and it's hosted by Laurent Fouilloud-Buyat (just call him "low-ron-t"). He's a French Texan, therefore the topics you'll hear him discuss are varied. One Sunday you may hear an interview about surviving domestic violence, or how to volunteer with Big Brothers and Big Sisters, or how to give blood. While on another, you may hear an interview with the conductor of the Houston Ballet Orchestra, or the director of the Museum of Fine Arts Houston.
Regardless of the topic, FM Houston and Laurent are dedicated to promoting the work of Houston's best non-profit organizations. You can look forward to a lively and informative discussion on every show.
You may have questions about what you heard on FM Houston, or you may want to discuss the show, or even suggest a good topic. The best way to do this is to e-mail Laurent directly at fmhouston@yahoo.com, and you can count on receiving a prompt reply. That's what FM-Houston is all about: our community.

FM Houston is no more... Long live Houston P.A.!
Saturday 01-16-2010 7:35pm CT
Those of you who have been following this show already know it has a new name: Houston P.A.
It was being broadcast on several of our Clearchannel stations for a while and one day, it was added to The 9-5-0 - Radio Mojo. That's 950 AM. Thus, exit "FM Houston" and enter "Houston P.A." now broadcast on both the FM and AM band. It's still the same show, still about Public Affairs - otherwise known as the subject of our non-profit organizations. The first shows were recorded in December and you'll find them here. Folks from SNAP: Spay-Neuter Assistance Program, The Children's Museum, The Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Houston were among my guests who thought they were going to appear on FM Houston and found themselves on Houston P.A. instead. Weird, huh?
Anyway, Houston P.A. has its own blog and podcast, which you will find to suspiciously resemble this one. It's the same French dude manning the controls so you can expect more of the same. Hopefully, you're reading this because you're happy to hear it. See you over there… The Berlin Wall fell 20 years ago plus: Souper Bowl of Caring

This week is a s show about the national food drive designed to coincide with the big American sporting event: Souper Bowl of Caring (click here for their website). Julie Falcon, the South Texas Director, answers my questions about the event, its mission and long working cycle (the Superbowl is not until February).
Also, listen to the last 5 minutes of the show to hear my thoughts on the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was 20 years ago and I was still living in France when it happened. My memories are vivid and I wanted to share a few impressions on this occasion: the 20th anniversary, which the world is celebrated November 9th.

 How well do you know your Bayou City? And I do mean the bayous...

Here is one of my favorite interviews of the year: Kevin Shanley, chairman of the board of the Bayou Preservation Association. At its best, FM Houston affords me the opportunity to learn and in these 30 minutes, I was fascinated to find out I knew nothing of Houston's waterways - only that I thought I did because I love the bayou that runs along Memorial Park. But there is so much more (many more bayous aside from Buffalo Bayou, in fact) and all of them are crucial to our lives.
Houston waterways literally define the way we live our daily lives and it's absolutely fascinating. Kevin is a passionate spokesman and he will return to FM Houston. You'll see, the interview is full of information but we're only scratching the surface. Click here to listen to the podcast. You can also find out about the Organization on their website: http://www.bayoupreservation.org
Also, I'm posting this week's interview with Tiffany Travis and Dr. Jon-Cecil Walkes, from the American Heart Association. This year, their Start Houston Heart Walk will take place downtown, on November 7th. But that's just the tip of the iceberg for this interview, in which we mostly talk about how to adopt good eating and exercising habits. No catch-phrases or magic pills, here! Just simple advice every human being can follow - as long as they want to do so. Check out their website: www.houstonheartwalk.org. Registration for the walk is free to all.
