Reader senior writer Ben Joravsky riffs on the day's stories with his celebrated humor, insight, and honesty, and interviews politicians, activists, journalists and other political know-it-alls. Presented by the Chicago Reader, the show is available by 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays at chicagoreader.com/joravsky or on the Reader's YouTube channel—or wherever you podcast. Don't miss Oh, What a Week!--the Friday feature in which Ben & special guests review the week's top stories. Also, bonus interviews drop on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. Reader podcasts are recorded on Shure microphones. Learn more at Shure.com.
Just as we were set to record, word breaks. Bears fire Coach Eberflus. After he awakes from passing out, Ben riffs. Then Rummana Hussain explains why she couldn’t care less. Then the discussion turns to politics. Rummana sees a Trump flag in Lincolnwood. Are Trump voters stupid? Rummana is an editorial writer/columnist for the Sun-Times. Her views are her own.
