Georgia Politics Podcast Episode 23

The podcast is back!

Jason, Catherine, Rusty, Joseph and myself revive the Georgia Politics Podcast with an episode ranging from the Atlanta Mayoral race to the saga of Glenn Richardson.

Listen here.

It's a good one.

Georgia Politics Podcast Episode 22

Hit play or head to the Georgia Podcast Network to listen to episode 22 of the Georgia Politics Podcast.

Joseph, Catherine, Grayson, Larry and I talk about the Governor's race, the crazy Mayor of Dallas and of course, the AJC.

And I know. Cuomo was 92 not 88. With age comes addledness. It wouldn't be a podcast if I didn't misremember a date.

Podcasts! We Got Podcasts!

A couple of political podcasts for your listening pleasures.

I swear only Wilson Smith can somehow corner me into defending Republicans. For the record, I got my tongue twisted on one part - if I were a Senator I would NOT have voted for SB 169. We also talk about other crossover day happenings and what not.

Listen here.


Also, the regular gang of the Georgia Politics Podcast got together last Saturday. Unfortunately, do to a scheduling conflict, I was unable to attend. But JosephG, Catherine, Grayson, Jason and Decaturguy had it covered.

They discussed:

The Grocery Tax
Georgia Power Bill - Bloggers vs. Lobbyists
Proposed Change in the Ad Valorum Tax
New Department of Transportation (Georgia Transportation Authority) - Gina Evans / more power to Sonny Perdue
Prospects for Casey Cagle in Gov. Race
Senate Bill 169 - restricts stem cell research.
Video Lottery / Casinos in Atlanta
2010 Races for Governor, Lt Gov, Sec of State, etc.
Atlanta Crime and the Social Media Response

Georgia Politics Podcast Episode 19

It got a little wild and wooly.

Newcomers Jason Pye and 81st Democratic candidate Chris Huttman joined regulars JosepG, Grayson and myself for the Georgia Politics Podcast.

Things get a little heated when everyone's favorite lightning rod Karen Handel came up.

I think Jason's presence got me a little more excited than usual.

Listen here.

Enjoy some good conversation on your Sunday afternoon.

Listen to the Georgia Politics Podcast.

The usual gang was there: our gracious host JosephG, Catherine, JenB, Kimberly and moi.

Georgia Politics Podcast Episode 15

New Georgia Politics Podcast is up.

Listen here.

Joe, Catherine, JosephG and me, grift to the d, poke fun at candidate Dale Cardwell, how Georgia is back in play for the Presidential primaries and the craziness known as Sembler.

Georgia Politics Podcast Episode 14

After a few months, the gang is back together.

Check out the latest Georgia Politics Podcast, live on tape, actually digital, from Manuel's Tavern.

We discuss the drought, Genarlow, Presidential politics and the sad state of affairs on the Democratic side of the upcoming Senate race.

CORRECTION: In the podcast, I said Wilson's sentene was vacated and I've now been informed that is incorrect. Mea culpa. Lawyer stuff is confusing.

CORRECTION II: Now I'm told I was right sort of. Vacated was the wrong term but the sentence was set aside. Lawyers. Bottom line, dude's free as he should be.

Boyd Lewis on Mostly ITP

Former Atlantan Boyd Lewis, writer for the Great Speckled Bird back in the 70s, comes home to exhibit his photos at Mason Murer Fine Arts and talk to Georgia Podcast Network's Rusty Tanton about the shangra-la that was Atlanta prior to the child murders and the lack of a true counter-culture in today's politics.

Listen at Georgia Podcast Network's Mostly ITP.

Agree or disagree with his views, but you have to admit he gives one helluva rant.

Things get a bit testy when Genarlow Wilson is discussed.

As the dear departed Ronnie Van Zandt once said, "Turn it up..."

My Mama Taught Me Better

Recording the Georgia Politics Podcast

Seated from left to right: Catherine of Blog For Democracy, JosephG of Dora-Blog, yours truly, Randy Lewis of Georgia Politcal & Policy Digest and the sandaled foot of Decaturguy of Atlanta Public Affairs. Back to the camera is Rusty.

I'm afraid my strange habit of always having my legs spread wide open when a camera is around may doom any dreams of moving beyond text only communication.
