Primary Content
Incumbent U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson (R) is expected to win a third term in this year’s election. Yesterday, we spoke with his opponent, businessman Jim Barksdale (D). Today, we talk to Isakson about the competition and his plans should he return to Washington to represent Georgia.
Plus, we talk with bestselling author Karin Slaughter, whose new psychological thriller is called “The Kept Woman.” The novel follows a murder investigation led by one of Slaughter’s reoccurring characters, who’s a Georgia detective.
And actress and writer Issa Rae got the attention of many audiences in 2011 with her popular Web series, "The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl." Her latest project is an HBO series called "Insecure,” which debuts this weekend. We talk with Rae about her new show and what she wishes she could tell her dad.
Then, we revisit our conversation with a pair of Atlanta bloggers on what it’s like to be a single woman seeking a man in Georgia’s capital city where the odds are stacked against you.
