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.
The mainstreams rejoice over Mayor Rahm’s return from exile. Ben riffs. Monroe explains why mainstream journalists love Rahm so much.

And a few words about the execution of Fred Hampton, which happened 55 years ago.
