This week's episode is a continuation of our adventures in getting to know our state senators. We discuss Georgia State Senator Elena Parent, break down the claims against "Crooked Kelly," and What You Need To Know This Week about the City of Atlanta's new homelessness attack plan and Invest Atlanta makin it rain for rich corporations.

In this episode, Melody and Coleman debut two new segments. First, instead of droning on and on about the two (admittedly important) US senate races, they begin their discussion of the state senators that represent the metro Atlanta area. Then, they cover a political stunt of the week and insert that often elusive thing in politics called "nuance" and "context." And, of course, the show rounds out with What You Need To Know for this upcoming week.

In this episode, we talk runoffs. Yeah, the senate one, obvi. But Coleman gives you a reason to show up for the December 1st runoff vote (YES. We said December 1st, NOT January 5th). And we round out the convo with a recap on some housing legislation coming out of city council.

What happens when someone decides not to watch any news on election night? We put Coleman in a bunker, took away his phone and any access to the interwebs, and then allowed him to emerge this morning to hear what went down last night. Listen in on his reaction and hear our thoughts on why the world isn't over and will keep on spinnin.⁠

Here's a political palate cleanser as we reach the election apex. We are joined by comedian Ally Edge to play a sad but true game called Fact v. Fiction. Can you tell if each scenario is a true story about one of our local politicians or if its a scenario from tv and pop culture? It might be harder than you think!

And in this week's WDYNTK, Coleman and Melody have their first serious podcast disagreement.

In this episode, Coleman and Melody discuss the office soap opera that is the DeKalb County Sheriff's office and take a lil journey out to the north metro to cover the races for Cobb DA, Sheriff, and Commissioner. They then finish up breaking down those ridiculously vague referendums and amendments and give you the skinny on what you need to know this week.

In this week's episode, we continue going through the down-ballot races on the general election ballot as we discuss what the hell the a Public Service Commissioner does and why you should care, how QAnon has raised its conspiracy-lovin' head in the 5th Congressional District race, and why we don't hear much about the Fulton County Commission.

In this episode, we discuss the 21-candidate jungle primary for the other senate seat, including which candidate wishes he had an imaginary black slave and why Kelly Loeffler wears so much flannel. And in this week's What Do You Need To Know, we break down the congressional race that will never die and what every Dekalb resident needs to know when making a plan to vote.⁠

This week, we break down the Jon Ossoff v. David Perdue senate race by taking a look at their ad campaigns and discuss topics ranging from “Is Jon Ossoff a socialist?” to “How many denim jackets does David Perdue own?” We then take a look at the September 29th special election for the 5th Congressional District.

In this episode, you get to meet the hosts of the podcast, Coleman and Melody. Why would they spend an hour talking about themselves and ask you to listen? Because politics is viewed from the perspective of personal experience. We want to be 1oo% transparent on our backgrounds and biases so you can weigh the info that will appear in future podcasts with this info in mind. Couldn't care less about who we are? Skip to Episode Two. We won't be offended. Promise.
