Podcasts about Georgia, United States

In Hawks back in the win column against weary warriors., E-Dub of Hawksbeat Podcast - A Podcast on all things Atlanta Hawks sets the box score aside to air a grievance. A Hawks game and an Atlanta United match had been scheduled at the same time, and "It took me one hour to get to the arena. It normally takes me about 25 minutes." It is one fan's complaint. It also sums up how Georgia sounds in its own podcasts: the teams are the main event, and the talk about them keeps spilling into the traffic, money and loyalties around them.

Sports talk dominates. Here it covers the Braves, Falcons, Hawks and Atlanta United, along with the Georgia Bulldogs, and it comes from former players, beat writers, official team channels and fans running live chats. The calendar keeps them busy. The Braves won their postseason opener against Philadelphia 5–3 in September 2026, and the Falcons' official results list a 45–24 win at New Orleans in October 2026. Away from the stadiums, the race for governor drives the argument, and data-center policy divided the candidates in September 2026.

A useful habit for all of it is to ask who is speaking and from what position. The best of these shows tell you. Most of them are about Atlanta, and readers who want Atlanta on its own can go to the Atlanta page. This guide also follows the conversation outward to Athens, Augusta, Dalton and Savannah.

What Georgia is

Georgia is a southeastern U.S. state with an estimated 11.30 million residents in 2025 and 57,716.96 square miles of land, measured in 2020. Its identity includes civil-rights history. Its economy extends into international trade and manufacturing: the state reported $60.2 billion in goods exports during 2025, and aircraft and related parts were its largest export category.

The governor's race, over breakfast

Political Breakfast from WABE seats Atlanta journalist Lisa Rayam between Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson and Republican strategist Brian Robinson, and it is plain about what that arrangement means. In Governor's race candidates stumping ahead of May primary, Atlanta youth gun violence, teen takeovers, Robinson stops to clarify: "I'm not speaking on behalf of the Rick Jackson campaign. I'm here as Brian Robinson, Political Breakfast co-host." Hear it as strategic argument from people with stakes in the outcome. On those terms it is lively and well informed.

The same episode makes room for ordinary life. Robinson describes taking his nine-year-old daughter to watch golf, and by Sunday she was shouting at the TV. The panel then turns to teen takeovers: one co-host points to Mayor Dickens's stricter enforcement of Atlanta's 11 p.m. curfew, and another argument lays the open-carry push at Republican leadership's door. The February 17 episode was taped at Manuel's Tavern.

Local power gets quieter recordings. Liberty County, Georgia puts a commission meeting online in Board of Commissioners - February 3, 2026 Regular Meeting. In Gainesville, local government | North Georgia Advocate starts from the complaint that it is hard to get "a read and true temperature" of Hall County affairs.

Cases that stay open

Atlanta Monster is Payne Lindsey's series from Tenderfoot TV and iHeartPodcasts. It reexamines the Atlanta Child Murders, the disappearance and murder of more than 25 African American children and young adults. Its feed now leans on the wider Monster franchise, so look for the Atlanta material. In Live from CrimeCon [bonus], a panelist says the case was handled the wrong way while adding that "it doesn't mean that Wayne wasn't guilty of anything." The panel explains that the series aired theories its makers did not believe and left listeners to judge them. That choice respects a long local argument, and it asks a lot of the listener.

Breakdown, from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, is the reporter's version. In Death in a Hot Car: Mistake or Murder?, Bill Rankin, who says he has covered courts for 25 years, sets out the malice-murder case against Ross Harris in the death of his son, Cooper. He promises: "I'll plant questions in your mind about Harris' guilt, and I'll plant doubts in your mind about his innocence." It is harrowing material, organized around intent. For more, Intent: The Tex McIver Case returns to the shooting of Diane McIver in Atlanta.

Bulldogs, daily

Brandon Adams's DawgNation Daily treats media chatter as part of the football story. In Episode 2687: Kirby Smart fires back at Gunner Stockton criticism, the show traces how a former football player's podcast clips can climb onto bigger national shows. It argues that those shows repackage Georgia fans' own anxieties and sell them back. Near the end comes the Gator Hater Updater: 1,985 days since Florida last beat Georgia. Another episode, Episode 2689: Behind-the-scenes details revealed about one of UGA's greatest moments, makes a point about geography. For a fan in Valdosta, the show argues, the spring game can mean a long drive and a hotel bill, so streaming it matters.

The Georgia Show, from the DawgsHQ staff, leans into recruiting and depth charts. Early in Dawg Talk LIVE with Rusty Mansell: Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate, a roll call of where viewers are watching runs through Augusta, Gilmer County and Thomasville before the talk turns to Georgia Tech's quarterbacks.

Falcons, inside and outside the building

Atlanta Falcons Podcast Network is the team's official feed, warm and access-driven. What we LOVE about the Atlanta Falcons' 2026 Free Agency class | Friday Five Podcast sends one newcomer off nicknamed "Samson the Wise." Blogging Dirty: Atlanta Falcons Podcast is a fan's restless counterpoint. In Atlanta Falcons’ new uniforms thoughts, Kirk Cousins to Las Vegas, the host wishes the team had gone back to its 1990s look, the era when he became a fan, and admits he may be an "old man yelling at clouds." One Time For The Fan lets its live chat steer the conversation. In One Time For The Fan podcast talking Falcons offseason., a viewer's new Drake London jersey gets its own shout-out.

Braves noise and Braves memory

Atlanta Braves Radio Network carries 680 The Fan's Chuck & Chernoff, which is loud, local and fond of a bit. Ahead of a Hawks-Knicks series, Chuck & Chernoff - Braves Still Have Not Lost a Series This Season puts Chuck through a 60-second New York trivia game, and he gets six. Buck's Beat, from Buck Belue, is mellower. In Buck Belue Saturday 4-11-26 Hour 1, Steve West argues that the Hawks' 20-5 run after the All-Star break already counts as success.

The archive runs deep. Behind the Braves, the team's official podcast, built a three-part history of 1995. In FINALLY! The ’95 Braves Part 1, team historian Sam Wallace recalls the division being clinched on a flight from Cincinnati to Colorado. 755 Is Real: A show about the Atlanta Braves, with writer David O'Brien and former reliever Eric O'Flaherty, posted Braves postseason ended by Phillies for second straight year in 2023. In that episode the hosts describe Philadelphia booing Atlanta's bullpen before the first pitch.

For the Hawks, ATL and 29 is the tactical choice. In (Ep. 427/ATL and 29) Garden Pests, its hosts disagree openly about the quality of the Hawks' threes against Boston.

The people who built it

Archive Atlanta tells Atlanta's history through specific lives. In Fortune Telling, the guests trace how Toby Grant's wealth came from fortune telling and how she gave land in DeKalb County for a park for Black children. Oral History (Matthew Norwood) sits with the pastor of Bible Way Ministries, whose church runs a monthly food bank for close to 100 people.

Augusta has DropTheDis Augusta, a name that carries its own argument. In From Cookies To Courts With Troy Akers, a speaker recalls a single request: stop bashing your town. Dialogues with Creators talks craft with writers and teachers around Dalton, and its episode Dana Shavin describes a writers group of about 16 at the Creative Arts Guild. In Savannah, Art on the Air hears how one arts space considered co-working for artists in Art(s) on the Air with Midtown Arthouse.
