What's Really Going On

The crew is back to discuss the latest on AI - and what it means for Black communities, as well as Democrats messaging ahead, the factors that will be impacting the 2028 Presidential election, and Black elected officials place in the future of the party.

Georgia is changing—and Jason Esteves believes the future of the state depends on whether voters are ready to use their power.

In this exclusive WRGO interview, former Georgia State Senator Jason Esteves joins the crew for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of Georgia, the struggles facing working families, and what Democrats need to do differently to win.

From affordable housing and health care to child care, education, economic opportunity, and voting rights, Esteves breaks down why politics has to focus on the real issues impacting people's everyday lives.

He also discusses his experience as an educator, former Atlanta Public Schools Board Chair, state senator, small business owner, and former candidate for governor. The conversation explores why school boards and local elections matter, why young voters must show up, and why electing officials isn't enough—we have to hold them accountable once they're in office.

If you care about Georgia politics, the future of the Democratic Party, voting rights, working families, affordable housing, and the next generation of leadership, this is a conversation you don't want to miss.
