May 10 is Small Business Day. We talk with Timothy Jeffcoat, District Director for Small Business Administration Houston, who discusses the impact small businesses have on the Houston community and what a possible default on the national debt could mean for the country and for small businesses, in particular.

Then, it's our inaugural "Talk of the Town!", where our panel of guests share their thoughts on topics recently covered on Town Square with Ernie Manouse. This panel features author and Managing Editor of The Houston Defender, ReShonda Tate; MasterChef winner and restaurant owner, Christine Ha; and psychologist Dr. Jeff Temple.

They weigh in on topics such as the recent legal troubles of former President Donald Trump and George Santos, America's healthcare system, and pop culture events such as Eurovision and the Royal Coronation of King Charles III, and more.
