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.
It's been a year since the great Karen Lewis died. Ben riffs. And Maya Dukmasova, Injustice Watch reporter, returns to talk about the politicization of crime. Or more specifically, Mayor Lightfoot's unsubstantiated asssertion that there's a correlation between remote learning and a rise in carjackings. Maya explains the concept of moral panic.
