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.
Ben’s been waiting for this conversation since the sad news broke. Talking Jesse Jackson with Monroe Anderson and Jack White, two journalistic legends who knew the Country Preacher back in the day. Monroe and Jack riff about Jesse’s legacy. Good and bad. Hymietown quote. 1984 and 88 presidential campaigns. His treatment of Black journalists and more. Jack White was a writer for Time Magazine and Monroe wrote about Jackson for the Tribune.
