The PoPo Report
Summary: The POPO REPORT is a local weekly program hosted by a well known and respected Private Investigator, Paul Ciolino and Lupe Aguirre, a police officer and private attorney. The show covers the crime and the subsequent legal action attributable to the crimes committed in the Chicago area. The Show dives into the criminal element and the CPD who in seconds have to react to any situation or person. Chicago has historically been a hotbed of criminal activity; from Al Capone to John Wayne Gacy to numerous Governors. Every day there is a crime committed that creates controversy between the public and the police, the judicial system and the community, and in each case the citizens of Chicago create a personal attachment and opinion. Like the weather, crime in Chicago is a water-cooler topic and if you try to avoid it, it’s everywhere else from TV to Print to Social Media and Text that pop up on a minute by minute basis. From Cops to Live PD, from 48 Hours to Joe Kenda; the TV is filled with Channels and Programs dedicated to crime and criminal activity. Yet, there is nothing on the radio that covers this popular topic. Talk Radio is based on unique content which is current, local and relevant. The POPO REPORT is all of this and more. The show covers every demographic, every area, every ethnicity and every economic group. It’s the show for everyone.
