'The Weekly Wrap With Bruce Wolf' premieres on VPOD-TV Aug. 6

Oak Brook, IL - Bruce Wolf (WFLD, WMAQ, WLUP, WLS and The Steve Dahl Show) is marking his return to television in ubiquitous form by way of broadcast, digital, podcast and everything in between. The show was born after shooting a few specials for the VPOD-TV Network which aired locally in Chicago on the newly launched channel 59.3. These specials were a mix of topical conversations and takes on news, politics, and current events. Guests for those specials included Chicago icons Joan Esposito and Mike North.

The new weekly version of the show "The Weekly Wrap With Bruce Wolf" will be an hour of topical talk sprinkled with Bruce's trademark biting wit. Each week Bruce is joined by his co-host, stand up comedian Tim Slagle (former co-host of "The Mudslingers Ball" with Lewis Black) and will feature a special guest providing an opposing or interesting view. The 60 minute show will air Fridays at 7:30pm CST, re-air Saturdays at the same time, and then be available via Facebook Watch, YouTube as well as all major audio podcast outlets such as; Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts, the online version will include a bonus segemnt.

For the debut show airing Friday, Aug. 6, Bruce and Tim will be joined by former Chicago Tribune columnist Eric Zorn.

Bruce, excited about this opportunity, exclaimed: "This is a nice hobby for me in my dotage." And with a clear understanding modern media added, "I have no idea what the last few paragraphs of the press release mean, but I think I'm going to have a bigger audience than when I talked into my Oki 222 tape recorder when I was 13."
