NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Audio One, the Beverly Hills-based podcast powerhouse led by CEO Ashley Monroe, announced today the release of a highly anticipated, sit-down between Host and Executive Producer Jay Walker and former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. The bombshell episode of The Jay Walker Podcast is officially available now across all major platforms.
The release of this pivotal political conversation comes on the heels of Walker inking a massive multi million dollar podcasting deal with Audio One earlier this year. The landmark partnership solidifies Walker’s position as a premier architect of high-level, culturally resonant audio content, backed by Audio One’s industry-leading production, marketing, and distribution infrastructure.
In this latest episode, Walker cuts straight to the core of Georgia’s political battleground. Bottoms opens up about the realities of her 2026 run for Governor, the immediate threats to democracy under the current administration, the recent FBI search warrants in Fulton County, and the dangerous implications of the new SAFE Act. The conversation also explores Bottoms’ strategic economic vision for the state, including urgent Medicaid expansion and tax breaks for teachers.
Beyond the political battlefield, the episode captures a profoundly vulnerable side of the former mayor. Reflecting on the personal healing required for high-stakes leadership and the weight of history, Bottoms shared a deeply touching realization:
“For me, it has been this journey of realizing that I am enough… I think of all that my ancestors sacrificed and all they did to make this state the state that it is. I’m proud of my people, I’m proud of me, and I couldn’t always say that. All you can do is do the best you can do. And that’s enough.”
“We don’t sugar-coat the reality of what’s happening in our culture or our politics,” Walker stated regarding the release. “This episode is about getting to the absolute truth of the 2026 elections and what it takes to actually heal a state. It’s direct, it’s necessary, and it’s streaming right now.”
