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.
The city council passes a budget and instead of praising Mayor Johnson, everyone’s hating on him. Ben riffs. Perri Small riffs on Ben’s riff. Explaining what’s going in words that north siders know is true even if they’d never admit it. A few words about pardoning Jesse Jackson Jr. And reflections on San Fran in ‘84. Perri is the retired host of the Perri Small Show on WVON.
