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.
Another week has come and gone, which means Ben and Producer Chris run down the news. Starting with...the state of Illinois looks to bring at least three more bookies on line to take the money of sports-betting suckers who should know better. Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey "softens" his rhetoric to win over swing voters by trying to pretend he's not against abortion, even though he previously said abortions are worse than Nazi genocide. Mayor Lightfoot says no property tax hike. Must be an election year. Speaking of which...Congressman Jesus Garcia can't make up his mind about running for mayors. And lefties call his bluffing, drafting Brandon Johnson to run.
