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 latest bewildering trades by his beloved Bulls remind Ben of everything wrong with Chicago. Ben riffs. His old friend, Mick Dumke, tries to calm him down—then he gets fired up. Also, Mick on the latest details related to Trump’s raid at 7500 South Shore Drive. “It’s Chicago meets MAGA.” And Bruce Springsteen’s protest song. Finally, don’t blame Mick for Kid Rock, even though they’re both from Michigan. Mick is an editor and writer for Block Club. His views are his own.
