The legislative session kicks off Monday, and Georgia’s politicians are gearing up for another 40-day session under the Gold Dome. On today’s episode of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, host Greg Bluestein previews the issues that will dominate the session.

First, Greg sits down with House Speaker Jon Burns, who outlines the Republican agenda, including Medicaid, school safety, and IVF protections. Then, Democratic state Representative Michelle Au shares her priorities and vision for the Democratic Party following November’s sweeping losses.

Finally, it’s Friday, which means we’re diving into the listener mailbag to answer your questions and sharing Greg’s picks for who’s up and who’s down in politics this week.
