Chicago journalist Ben Joravsky starts each show by riffing on the news of the day with his celebrated humor, insight, and honesty. Then he talks politics with activists, elected officials, journalists and all sorts of political know-it-alls. We talk Chicago, Illinois, national (lots of national), international and lefty politics. Find The Ben Joravsky Show wherever you download podcasts.
Trump’s Border Czar comes to the northwest side, but he’s not talking about Chicago’s border with Skokie. Ben riffs. Dave Glowacz returns to discuss the absurdity of the ongoing budget spectacle. Which is more of a pageantry staged by aldermen and mayor to fool Chicagoans into thinking their city is honest about its financial books. Specifically, Dave analyzes police allotment. The city will be conducting a study to discover what they could already tell us. The joke’s on you, Chicago. Dave is a journalist who oversees the news website Inside Chicago Government.
