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 and Maya went to Maria’s in Bridgeport to host First Tuesdays with Alderwomen Nicole Lee and Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth. Topics for discussion included the rising political power of Asian-American voters in Chicago. And immigration—as in why so many Chicagoans are hostile to the Venezuelan immigrants being bused here by Governor Abbott from Texas. Maya is, of course, Maya Dukmasova, reporter for Injustice Watch.
