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 perfect world, Ben & Maya would convene their monthly First Tuesdays show at the Hideout bar. But, alas, we're in the middle of a pandemic. Which begs the question--if it's too dangerous to meet in a bar, is it not too dangerous to open Chicago's public schools? And what are the politics of the standoff between Mayor Lightfoot and the Chicago Teachers Union. These are some of the questions Ben & Maya Dukmasova discuss with Yana Kunichoff, reporter for Chalkbeat Chicago, and Gregory Pratt, reporter for the Chicago Tribune, in a show recorded February 2.
