Mike gets together each week, often with special guests in studio and from around the country, to discuss current topics involving politics, education and social justice "from the Left side of the plate." The topics covered may be local, national or international but always with a Chicago sensibility and perspective.
Mike is joined in studio on this edition of Hitting Left by co-host Joanna Klonsky. Joanna is a political strategist and consultant. Also joining Mike is Ray Long, recently retired political reporter for the Chicago Tribune.
