  • Needed Precipitation

    When I was in Georgia politics, the Atlanta newspaper supposedly covered the region “…like the dew.” By the time I left, the combined Atlanta newspapers were retracting in both areas of coverage and availability.

    Thanks to this podcast, at least the important subject of Georgia politics is back, and now not just covering area like dew… it’s a nice spring shower of information, all over the world.

    Highly recommended.

  • How Greg

    Greg is very fair. He approaches hard conversations with respect. He doesn’t shy away from topics. He gives his guest space to express their opinion.

    He should be hosting a tv show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The GOP Fight for Lieutenant Governor
Q: What is your stance on redistricting conversations given recent Supreme Court rulings?
Kennedy contended that redistricting must proceed in accordance with Supreme Court precedent, cannot be rushed mid-cycle, and should be revisited in light of the Louisiana decision, but cannot disrupt ongoing elections.
The GOP Fight for Lieutenant Governor
Q: How would you handle potential cross-party cooperation if the governor is from the opposite party?
He said he would work with anyone to move public policy in the right direction for Georgia, stressing that shared goals and a results-focused approach should trump partisan friction.
The GOP Fight for Lieutenant Governor
Q: What do you see as the biggest accountability or transparency gaps in the current lieutenant governor landscape?
Kennedy emphasized the need for practical governance and experience, suggesting that collaboration across the Senate and House, along with a record of delivering conservative policy, is essential to effective leadership. He dismissed alarms about hype and framed his track record as evidence of his readiness to lead.
Will Georgia redraw its political maps before 2028?
Q: Lanny in St. Simons asks how the Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act changes Georgia and whether there will be another round of new maps.
The panel says a special session to redraw maps is likely, though probably not in time for the 2026 midterms, with political calculations about keeping or shifting power influencing the decision.
Will Georgia redraw its political maps before 2028?
Q: Fred in Avondale Estates asks how seriously Democrats and Republicans should take the Atlanta DSA's electoral strategy and whether the mainstream Georgia Democratic Party sees these candidates as allies or threats.
Hosts explain the strategy is complicated, with some DSA candidates challenging incumbents and others drawing enthusiasm from younger voters, while the party weighs loyalty to incumbents against the energy and diversity DSA candidates bring to the caucus.
