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.
President Joe Biden announces the end of the forever war in Afghanistan. Ben talks about the price we've paid for that war. Vincent E. Norment--owner of the Marijuana Hall of Fame--drops in to continue the conversation on the different ways police treat Black and white motorists. And Matt Ginsberg & Cheryl Miller, mental health activists, talk about the reluctance of Mayor Lightfoot to re-open the mental clinics that Mayor Rahm so foolishly closed nine years ago.
