Description
Georgia is quickly becoming one of the most politically relevant states in the nation. On the Better Georgia Podcast we will be talking about state politics, but we want to make it as accessible as possible to everyday Georgians. Instead of only talking about “insider” politics, we want to take complex issues and translate them for a diverse audience. We will discuss and dissect all the latest and biggest political stories that are putting Georgia on the map, from groundbreaking legislation to game-changing elections.
