A Family Show
Melita Easters, executive director at Georgia WIN List, and comedian Sterling Thrill both joined the show today.
As Georgia heads into a pivotal election cycle, Ron kicks off the year with a forward-looking conversation about what real political engagement looks like in 2026. Joined by Melita Easters, executive director of the Georgia WIN List, who shares her organization’s practical ways voters can stay informed, get involved, and make an impact—from volunteering and donating to showing up locally and leading conversations in their own communities. Then there’s boning up on our ABC’s … of advocacy.

Later, comedian and political satirist Sterling Thrill stops by to add a little biting humor and commentary on the national political mood and the year ahead.

Finally, Ron does a little “tab-cleaning,” coming back to a late-November op/ed from James Carville in the New York Times (gift link) where he and the likes of Rahm Emanuel, Paul Krugman and David Brooks – nearly a decade after working hard to reject the economic populist message of Bernie Sanders – have come around to seeing Sanders’ message as Democrats’ 2026 route to victory. Better (a decade and entire Trump era) late than never, eh?
