  • 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.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andrew Morse reflects on AJC’s digital shift and Georgia politics
Q: What has surprised you about Georgia politics as you came here with fresh eyes?
Morse notes surprising levels of bipartisan cooperation at the state level and a resilience in relationships that persists despite national polarization, a trend that contrasts with the broader national climate.
The GOP After the Runoffs
Q: Can you summarize the Trumpworld split on Rick Jackson vs Burt Jones?
Donald Trump Jr.'s comments appeared to both signal support and complicate the narrative, illustrating a nuanced divide in Trumpworld where Rick Jackson is viewed favorably by some MAGA-aligned figures while others still back Burt Jones.
The GOP After the Runoffs
Q: Why did Kemp endorse Burt Jones and did that endorsement help or hurt him in the runoff?
The hosts explain that Kemp believed Burt Jones would be more electable, but the endorsement did not guarantee success, as Jones lost by a sizable margin, suggesting the governor's influence may be waning in some circles.
MARTA, Voting Rights, and the World Cup
Q: What message do you have for MARTA riders and visitors arriving in Atlanta?
The MARTA Chief emphasized condolences to victims, highlighted ongoing safety measures, and underscored plans to use new technology and patrols to improve safety and reassure riders.
Georgia's Runoff Eve
Q: Next is a text message from Daniel, who writes, does it actually matter if it's Collins or Dooley in November? They're both Republicans running in Georgia. What's the real difference for voters?
The hosts outline differences in campaigning style, policy emphasis, and personal accountability, noting Dooley's focus on offense and ethics, Collins's record and specific policy positions like the Lake and Riley Act, as well as their approaches to cross-aisle collaboration and Trump-era alignment.
