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.

Children and Families are HUNGRY!! — A Conversation with Feeding Georgia
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of Tharon’s Take, Tharon sits down with Julie Bryant Kuykendall, Director of Feeding Georgia, for an honest conversation about hunger and food insecurity across the state.
Julie shares what it looks like when one in five children face hunger, how families are impacted when SNAP benefits end, and how everyday setbacks — like illness, job loss, or transportation issues — can quickly push people into crisis. The discussion also highlights the power of community response and how individuals, organizations, and businesses can come together to make a difference.
This episode is a reminder that hunger exists in our neighborhoods, our schools, and our communities — and that real change happens when people get involved.
