Bob Sirott

Booking Overview

A local radio-rebroadcast interview show focused on Chicago public affairs, civic issues, food, and everyday lifestyle topics, with external conversations featuring elected officials, journalists, and local specialists. Agencies could credibly pitch Chicago officials, civic or business leaders, journalists, restaurateurs or food experts, and consumer or lifestyle experts; booking appears low to medium difficulty because the show favors relevant local expertise and recognizable community figures rather than only national celebrities.
