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.
On June 6, Ben and Maya brought First Tuesdays to the Night Hawk in Albany Park. Our guests were state Rep Kam Buckner and activist Lynda Lopez. We were talking CTA. Things got interesting when several bus drivers, with years in the system, explained what’s really going on. If only Chicago’s leaders listened to the people who really know what’s going on—the people who actually do the work. As we all know, “Maya” is Maya Dukmasova, star investigative reporter for Injustice Watch.
