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.
Political activist Michael Harrington went to high school and worked for Karen Lewis. He reflects on her life and her mayoral showdown with Mayor Rahm that wasn't. Ben & Michael agree--she'd have mopped the floor with him. Also, a word or two about the curious antics of North Side Dems.
