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.
You’ve heard of the Chicago 7? Now there’s a Chicago 6 as Trump’s Justice Department trumps up a case against local activists. Ben riffs. Heidi Henry returns to give a perspective on how ICE’s invasion is playing in her neck of the woods—LaSalle County. Also, Trump’s impact on farmers. The difference between corporate and family farmers. A word of warning to Dems—every step to the center is a step to the right. Heidi is one of the founders of Illinois Valley Indivisible, a horse trainer, a Heartland Mama and a proud leftie.
