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 says he can do anything he wants--like invading Chicago. Ben riffs. Rummana Hussain predicts Chicago's reaction to an invasion. Then it's all things Jussie--again. As Ben and Rummana pick up a conversation they've been having for--get ready--six years! Yes, six years of Jussie talk. The pretext this time around? A new Netflix documentary that promises to reveal the truth about Smollettgate. Well, it doesn't do that. Rummana says it's cheesy. And Ben says that's the point, this whole saga is cheesy. The big question is why Chicago got so enthralled and/or enraged by Smollettgate. And Rummana says...oh, just listen. Rummana is a columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times.
