I love this show! They strive for balance and treat everyone fairly. The hosts ability to create dialogues across the isle has really improved my understanding of GA politics. I wish national news could sound like politically GA

Born in Brookhaven · Sep 2026

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.

Atlanta runner · Aug 2026

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.

GA/TN · Mar 2026

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.
