Kevin Warsh, Trump’s choice to lead the Fed, swears up and down he won’t be Donny’s puppet, even though everyone knows that’s why Trump chose him. Ben riffs. Robin Washington talks about his old neighborhood—Old Town. Think North & Sedgwick. Where he grew up in the 60s and 70s. As a Black and Jewish kid. He offers a primer on segregation, gentrification and activism in Chicago. And a shoutout to his parents, Atlee and Jean Washington. Robin is an award-winning writer, editor, journalist and Lane Tech High School grad, though not necessarily in that order.
