This week on Hear Cincinnati, host Maxim Alter, digital reporter Lucy May, digital editor Meghan Wesley and 9 On Your Side anchor Katherine Nero discuss Fiona's upcoming birthday, the death of a local man who experienced homelessness, Puerto Rico's status since the storms that ravaged it, a concert venue at The Banks, a basketball team that caused a stir with racist jerseys, a Tide Pod joke that's gone too far and is causing headaches for Procter & Gamble and more. 

Maxim then talks with Lucy about a sharp increase in the number of Tri-State residents who were diagnosed with HIV in 2017 after having injected drugs.
