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.
John Catanzara--president of the Fraternal Order of Police and one of Chicago's biggest Trump fans--compares mandatory vaccines to sending people to Nazi gas chambers. Sorry, MAGA, that's taking it too far. Ben riffs. In These Times journalist Sarah Lazare talks about the media and Afghanistan. Specifically, the habit of giving air time to the generals who got us into this war in the first place. Also, Cook County Assessor Fritz Kaegi covers everything from TIFs to Trump Tower to your property tax bill.
