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.
Ben & Dr. D talk the week that was, but first...State Senator Rob Martwick promotes Tuesday's Mayoral Forum, which Ben is moderating. And then it's on to the week that was. Including...Rickey Hendon/Willie Wilson v. Ja'Mal Green, round two. Only now Green is also challenging Wilson. And Oscar & Felix are back--the characters in Mayor Lightfoot's latest commercial. Boomers swoon. And Chuy picks up $1 million contribution. And Ben has a thing or two to say about MAGA's bizarre reaction to Brittney Griner's release. Bottom line--you're weird, MAGA.
