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.
In a headline, the Sun-Times calls Jesse Sharkey "wonky". Ben wonders what they're really trying to say about the Chicago Teachers Union president who just announced he's not running for re-election. And Miles Kampf-Lassin, editor/writer for In These Times, returns to talk Sharkey & CTU. And Joe Rogan & Spotify. And Brian Flores & racism.
