This week on Hear Cincinnati, host Maxim Alter, digital reporter Lucy May, digital editor Meghan Wesley and 9 On Your Side anchor Kathrine Nero talk about WCPO's illustrated Fiona children's book, Jimmy Fallon's Fiona obsession, the inspiring story of Kilee Brookbank, astronaut Scott Kelly's visit to Skyline Chili, our new Fit and Fun series, the Opening Day parade debacle and more.
Maxim then talks with government and politics reporters Amanda Seitz and Paula Christian about their examination of Cincinnati City Council's attendance record and whether or not council members are introducing meaningful resolutions.
Later on the podcast, investigative reporter Hillary Lake explains the loopholes that are allowing local truckers to get busted on heroin-related charges and keep driving.
