Jesse Jackson
03/14/2024
Just listen to the latest episode. Pretty sure Bill said the late Jesse Jackson? Wait what? No! I’m a huge fan of this man. One of the greatest speeches was the 1988 democratic convention. Keep hope alive. Maybe check it out. Am I missing something? He is not late he is alive.
No Black Voice…Speaks Volumes
03/16/2024
Why does the AJC provide zero Black perspective on Judge McAfee’s gratuitous, slanted, and possibly malicious ruling in the March 16th episode? You’re part of the problem AJC.
The Proffers Episode
11/17/2023
This was excellent! National news only had clips from some of the leaked proffers. This episode covered them in much more detail and gave analysis. Great job!
Just Gossip, Not News
02/29/2024
This was supposed to be a podcast about the trial to overturn an election. Instead it's devolved into speculation and gossip about the private lives of lawyers. As if any of it holds a candle to a president indicted on charges to nullify the votes of Georgians. Expected more from AJC.
Longtime listener disappointed
01/20/2024
Seems like you all think the DA owes you an answer about an alleged personal relationship. You’ve stated how “frustrated” you are about her not giving an answer so far. You all are stalking her at church and dissecting each word and commenting how it really makes you wonder. Why would she owe YOU or anyone else an answer...even before the judge has a hearing to address the motion? She deserves scrutiny no doubt.. but she probably could do without you all stirring up rumors and creating more drama. Report on the motion and hearings about what is actually happening..not what you suspect. Very disappointed in your “journalism”.
Super Informative

Love this podcast

Missing Bill Rankin because he is awesome. But Tamar and Shannon are also great. I did not like the lawyers who commented this week… episode 10.
Fantastic podcast
08/25/2023
Thank you for all the details and explanations over the seasons. The spotlight on how Trump tried to overturn our election and his corruption is sorely needed.
Attack episode
10/05/2023
Wow! You folks really don’t like the DA do you. Talk about nasty comments. Yikes!
Propaganda
10/02/2023
It’s pretty shameful hearing so-called “journalists” gloat and celebrate the prosecution of someone for free speech. They think it’s a joke to prosecute a law clerk for making a mistake. The only joke is the Atlanta Journal Constitution and the activist losers they employ
