📢 The Show Must Go On 📢

Tune in to the Ben Joravsky Show [READER]( To paraphrase the post office—neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night stays these podcasters from the swift completion of their appointed podcast. Add to that a pandemic. This is my way of we’ll be doing The Ben Joravsky Show this week, coronavirus or not. To listen, just [click here](. We’ll be broadcasting the show as a remote. Not sure where. Maybe my basement, or the attic. But somewhere safe. Producer Dennis—aka, Dr. D (not a doctor)—is good to go. We’ve got our guests lined up and ready to talk by phone, including but not limited to Maya Dukmasova, Henry Davis, Marc Sims, Monroe Anderson, Leni Manaa-Hoppenworth, Nikki Budzinksi, Peter “PC” Cunningham, Miles Kampf-Lassin, Rummana Hussain, Stacy Davis Gates, Sameena Mustafa, and so on. I’ll be closely watching the Cook County state’s attorney race. If [Kim Foxx]( wins, I’ll be cheering. C’mon, we all know she’s right: [Smolletgate is bullsh*t](. Plus, please tell me how Bill Conway is in a position to question anyone’s integrity after he took $10 million in campaign contributions from [his daddy]( who made that cash selling weapons of destruction. As I tell my guests, feel free to disagree . . . Sincerely, [Dr. Howard Ehrman]( on all things coronavirus. [Atiba Buchanan and David Seaton]( of Chicago’s smartest pundits—on Bernie vs. Biden, the Black vote, and everything else political. [Lakeisha Collins]( on the tough road she traveled to find herself running for state rep. [DONATE TODAY!]( Everything I needed to know about [Jimi Hendrix](. David Simon’s dramatization of The Plot Against America had me up late the other night re-reading [Goodbye, Columbus]( one of the most bittersweet/funniest books ever. Why [Bill de Blasio]( is a schmuck for the way he’s handled the coronavirus scare.
