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.
Comedian Pat Whalen joins Ben to go over a week's worth of news. Starting with...Palos Hills! Or is it Palos Heights? Whatever it is, that's where Paul Vallas lives. Or maybe it's his wife who lives there and Paul lives in Bridgeport. Does it matter if the mayor of Chicago lives in Palos Hills? Or Palos Heights? Can anybody in Chicago tell you the difference between Palos Hills and Palos Heights? In other news...what's the difference between lying and embellishing? Time to contrast the stories of Republican congresspeople George Santos and Anna Paulina Luna. Finally, Elon Musk stands up for free speech by firing an employee who told him something he didn't want to hear.
