The Politics Bar After Hours - Accountability & A Bus Pass
The Gray verdict, in black and white | Dolezal & Warnock show us how each party leads
The Ron Show, weekdays 8am and 4pm on Georgia NOW
A Georgia jury delivered a historic verdict in the Apalachee High School shooting case, finding Colin Gray guilty on 27 charges after prosecutors argued he ignored repeated warnings about his son’s mental health and gave him access to the gun used in the attack. Ron and WABE criminal justice reporter Chamian Cruz, who spent hours in that courtroom, dug into what the conviction could mean for parental responsibility and future gun cases.

State Senator Greg Dolezal released a controversial AI video that critics say spreads anti-Muslim rhetoric. It’s par for the course with Dolezal, eager to get Trump’s attention (and endorsement) by racing to the bottom, of late.
Meanwhile U.S. Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock traveled to Social Circle to oppose a proposed ICE detention facility, even in a community that overwhelmingly voted against him.
The actions of Dolezal and Warnock, Ron surmised, shows precisely what each party offers voters in this current political climate. One offers performative marginalization and demonization to pander to its base’s lowest basal instincts while the other sees its elected leaders showing up where they weren’t as popular on their election day.

The Politics Bar
Weekdays at 6pm
Jody Hamilton and Shawn "Smith" Peirce are the proprietors of The Politics Bar, a progressive audio show that recreates the spirit of the old neighborhood bar where friends could discuss the news of the day without starting a brawl. Jody is an Emmy-nominated, award-winning media producer, actress, and radio host—daughter of TV producer Joe Hamilton and comedy legend Carol Burnett—who's made her own mark in media through "The Carol Burnett: Show Stoppers," "The Porkchop Playhouse," "From The Bunker" podcast, and her work as executive producer and fill-in host of "The Stephanie Miller Show". Shawn is a long-time national media producer and radio talent who's one of the few producers in U.S. political media to have worked on the left, right, and center, including more than a decade with "The Randi Rhodes Show" and stints producing "The Stephanie Miller Show," "The Bill Press Show," "The Laura Ingraham Radio Show," and "The Steele & Ungar Show" for SiriusXM. The show airs weeknights on progressive radio affiliates nationwide and is available on-demand through podcast platforms and Substack subscription.
