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 returns from Michigan with good news. Sorta. Mick Dumke, lover of all things Michigan, takes the Mitten State political trivia challenge--which counties voted for Kamala over Trump? Proving...as goes Michigan, so goes the country. Can Abdul El Sayed defeat Congresswoman Haley Stevens in next year's Democratic senate primary? Think of it as Bernie Sanders versus Hillary Clinton with Israel and Gaza sorta on the ballot. Back to Chicago--the legacy of Congressman Danny K. Davis, who's not running for re-election. And a few words about former Alderman Walter Burnett and the Chicago Housing Authority. Finally, Ben and Mick nerd out over a Bob Dylan interview from 1965--thank you Leo Herman for sending it to us. Mick is an editor and writer for Block Club.
