Tharon's Take
Tharon’s Take is where politics, arts and culture meets real life. Hosted by political strategist and commentator Tharon Johnson (Biden 2020, Obama 2012, Founder of Paramount Consulting), this weekly podcast brings candid conversations with political leaders, well-known entrepreneurs, culture shapers, and everyday working people.
Instead of talking at the audience, Tharon talks with them. Each episode breaks down what’s happening in the political landscape in a way that’s clear, nuanced, and enjoyable to listen to. Expect thoughtful questions, a little controversy, humor, and real storytelling — not soundbites.
Whether you’ve followed Tharon’s work for years or you’re just trying to make sense of the world around you, this show gives you the insight you need to understand power, policy, and the people who shape both.
New episodes drop weekly.
