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 Bears make their first move toward convincing Arlington Heights residents to pay for their football stadium. Ben riffs. Monroe Anderson returns to explain a few things about Chicago history that Mayor Lightfoot may not understand. Such as the Evans/Sawyer split that divided Black Chicago and handed City Hall over to Daley. And attorney Jim Coogan joins Monroe to talk Special Master. That is...the bizarre ruling by Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee, to give ol' Donnie what he wants--a "Special Master" to review the government documents he, Donnie, stole from the White House. MAGA looks out for its own.
