13 JUN 2023 · We are thrilled to bring you this special episode from our live event Comedy and Conversations 2023 Session Wrap up, recorded at the Cultured South Fermentation Company. Featuring two of our favorite stand-up comedians Krystle Pierce and Tamar Rubin, and Georgia State Senator Nikki Merritt from District 9, and State Representative Kim Schofield from District 60.
Senator Merritt and Representative Schofield talk about facing challenges of achieving victories for constituents when the numbers in the legislature don't favor the minority's point of view, how they navigate these challenges, find compromises, and work towards solutions that benefit their constituents.
They also share about engaging in dialogue with their Republican colleagues to help pass legislation, and how sometimes they have to give up their authorship of bills in order to ensure their passage, help their constituents and improve their communities.
We cover both state and local issues, with a focus on advocating for progressive change, engaging in respectful conversations, and understanding different perspectives. We hope you enjoy this entertaining and informative episode, that is a unique blend of comedy and politics.

Elected in 2019, Rep Holly previously represented Georgia's 111th State House District, and in 2023 he now serves as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives, representing District 116.

EP15: Pt 2, Comedy & Conversations - Live at the Plaza Theater with Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock
6 NOV 2022 · “We did it first…” We GOT THE SENATOR! On this 2nd part of our two part series LIVE from The Historic Plaza Theater we have a tremendous conversation between an incredible comedian & actor Baron Vaughn (Grace & Frankie on Netflix) & Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock.
In this conversation Baron gets the Senator to talk about his background, his love for his State & the people in it & he even has a few jokes of his own. We think this conversation is truly unlike any you’ve heard from the Sen. Warnock & we think is the perfect example of the magic that happens when comedians are in conversation with elected officials. We hope you enjoy!

5 APR 2022 · Welcome back for Season Two of the Confused Caucus.
The past few months have been an absolute rollercoaster at the Gold Dome. We are excited to be back, looking at politics through the eyes of those in power, with those impacted by it - all the while trying to make sense of the nonsense that is politics.
Today we’re joined by Rep. Sam Park, who has recently stepped into chair of the Gwinette State House Delegation, which is currently in the process of re-districting.
In this episode we discuss the re-districting process, the history of redlining and gerrymandering within the state of Georgia, various bills coming down the pipeline in the State House, and much more.

20 APR 2021 · It’s been a few days since Sine Die - and while the paper bill confetti is still on the floor - we sat down with Minority Leader of Georgia House of Representatives Democratic Caucus Dr. James Beverly! aka “Leader Beverly”
We wanted to understand what his biggest takeaways were from this session and his goals for the next one. What he hopes the brand of the GA Dem party will be and his strategy to get there. It is no surprise that he was a lecturer in leadership at Mercer University given his optimistic outlook and focus on “the work” as he puts it. He tells us the inside scoop on where legislative dealings go down...and let’s just say no space is sacred at the Capital. We went down the rabbit hole talking about his favorite conspiracy theory and discovered that it has something to do with hip-hop. [bit.ly/HorseandHipHop]
