Stolen Gas, a New COVID-19 Subvariant, and Free Books!
Today we'll dive into the most important stories of the week and the ones that weren't in the headlines enough. Contributor Shiyam Galyon joins City Cast Houston producers Dina Kesbeh and Ferrill Gibbs. Together they discuss the thieves that got away with over a thousand gallons of diesel, a young Ukrainian trying to get his family to safety, and a high schooler who is fighting a book ban by giving away books.
