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 & Dr. D riff on the week's news. Including...a $20 million valentine that Ken Griffin gave to Richard Irvin. A man that most voter in Illinois had never heard of until Griffin, the richest man in the state, chose him to be our next governor. Funny how democracy works. Plus, Chicago news. And Ben badly flunks his hip-hip test.
