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.

The Atlanta Hawks’ Magic City Monday collaboration sparked conversation across the city and around the country.
In this episode of Tharon’s Take, Tharon Johnson sits down with Nick Love, Atlanta marketing strategist and the voice behind the Monday Morning Marketing Meeting on Fanbase with Isaac Hayes, to discuss the cultural and marketing impact of the partnership between the Atlanta Hawks and Magic City when the Atlanta Hawks play the Orlando Magic on Monday March 16th.
Nick, who has been deeply rooted in Atlanta’s music and entertainment scene — from working alongside Young Jeezy during the early days of his career to witnessing the era when DJs helped break records at Magic City — shares his perspective on why the collaboration resonated so strongly with the city.
They also discuss Atlanta’s cultural influence, the intersection of sports and entertainment, and the national attention that followed comments from San Antonio Spurs player Luke Kornet and former Atlanta Hawks player Al Horford.
