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 city of Chicago has decided it's a good idea to take a scrap iron facility that no one wants on the wealthy north side and move it to the working class south side, where no one wants it either.
