  • Amazing political education

    I’ve been with the AJC for a little over a year, and the Politically Georgia podcast has provided me an amazing education as I’ve worked to understand the political and landscape in a new state. I enjoy the guests and analyses - as well as Shane B’s nicknames for anonymous callers.

  • 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.

Georgia’s governor and Senate races, split-ticket voters and the politics reshaping schools and foster care
Q: What is the current view on whether the governor's race will mirror the rest of the ticket in terms of voting behavior?
Hosts discuss that a significant split-ticket trend is likely, with Ossoff and Jackson benefiting from cross-ticket appeal, but the final alignment remains uncertain and depends on ground campaigns and outside spending.
Atlanta’s Growing Political Power and Doug Reardon on Georgia's Big Debate Week
Q: Tell us a little about your background and what you're bringing to the debate coverage.
Doug describes his decade-plus experience in local political reporting, explains the role of his station in pre/post-debate coverage, and emphasizes the importance of engaging with undecided voters through a town-hall format.
Tharon Johnson on Keisha Lance Bottoms, the governor’s race and Georgia Democrats’ strategy
Q: How would Bottoms govern if elected, especially regarding relations with Republicans and key policy priorities?
Bottoms would aim to govern inclusively, listen to constituents, and push for Medicaid expansion and other broadly supported issues while maintaining a collaborative approach with Republicans to advance Georgia's agenda.
Tharon Johnson on Keisha Lance Bottoms, the governor’s race and Georgia Democrats’ strategy
Q: What accounts for the sizable lead for Ossoff and Bottoms in polling and their unity ticket stance?
Johnson attributes Ossoff's strong campaigning and Bottoms' strong primary performance, plus their joint messaging, to create a perception of capable leadership and a chance for Georgia voters to support a unified Democratic ticket that can push back on Republican governance.
Jason Carter on Trump, Ossoff and the Georgia governor’s race
Q: How should Keisha Lance Bottoms overcome the narrative that she was a one-term mayor?
Carter suggests emphasizing concrete accomplishments in office, such as job creation and budget management, and presenting a balanced record that contrasts with national debates, while also addressing COVID-era leadership to reassure voters.
