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.
School activists Cassie Creswell & Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth tell the only-in-Chicago story of Jones High School, located in the south Loop, who has a principal who allegedly lives in Missouri. What, CPS, you couldn't find someone closer to home? They also consider the age-old questions: Why do the leaders of Chicago public schools dislike parent, hate democracy, and adore powerful mayors. Also, a word or two or three about efforts in Mississippi to fire a teacher for introducing his students to the classic book, I Need A New Butt.
