Debut of Outspoken by Julianne Thompson and Rob Adkerson

Something new is coming to the Peach Pundit platform. This is the pilot episode of Outspoken, a new podcast hosted by longtime Georgia conservative activists and political veterans Julianne Thompson and Rob Adkerson. Julianne and Rob have spent years in the middle of Georgia and national politics, from the Tea Party movement to campaigns, grassroots organizing and Capitol Hill. Now they’re bringing those experiences, perspectives and a willingness to say exactly what they think to a new show. And they’re starting with a big guest. Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition, joins Julianne and Rob for a wide-ranging conversation about the 2026 midterm elections, the political environment facing Republicans, turning out younger voters, the future of the conservative movement, support for Israel and the rise of antisemitism on both the left and right. After the interview, Julianne and Rob turn their attention back to Georgia, including the debate over data centers, artificial intelligence, China, local control and how Republicans communicate their ideas to voters. This episode is a pilot, and we want to know what Peach Pundit viewers think. Watch it. Tell us what works. Tell us what doesn’t. And tell Julianne and Rob what you want them to tackle next.
