Melita Easters: a Georgia WIN for women’s rights
Melita Easters, executive director at the Georgia WIN List, joined us "At The Kitchen Table" recently.
Perhaps you’ve watched her a time or few on WAGA-TV / Fox 5 Atlanta’s “The Georgia Gang” – airing Sunday mornings at 8:30am. Or perhaps you’ve attended a forum she’s moderated or one-on-one with a profound thinker and/or author. Maybe you know her from her tireless work as executive director at the Georgia WIN List, an organization championing pro-choice women candidates.
Melita Easters joined us virtually “at the kitchen table” for a little background on both her and her organization, plus provides some keen insights into Georgia’s recent political history and where the state appears to be trending.

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.
