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.
Will Smith slaps Chris Rock and Ben riffs. Just when you thought you've seen it all. And LeRoy Gordon, aka Roy Flash Gordon, retuns to give it all some perspective. The man's a former professional wrestler, so he knows a thing or two about the fine line between dramatic trash talk and violence. And then ace attorney Jim Coogan returns to talk about the sins of Donald Trump and his confederates. A federal judge says Trump's attempt to subvert the 2020 presidential election is "likely criminal". Jim explains the context, where the case against Trump is going and Trump's attempt to divert attention by suing Hillary Clinton.
