*Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia gubernatorial candidate and prolific political figure, is venturing into the world of podcasting with her new weekly show, “Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams.” This fresh addition to the Crooked Media roster will see Abrams dissecting pressing issues facing the United States, interviewing experts for potential solutions, and discussing actionable steps for listeners to get involved in their communities.
Abrams, who shared her motivation for the podcast with The Hollywood Reporter, pointed to her experience in the Georgia state legislature. During that time, she frequently hosted town halls to address constituents’ concerns ranging from tax exemptions to mundane issues like trash collection.
“What I found is that when people feel that they don’t understand or that the problem is too big, they can be overwhelmed by just the sheer size of the issue,” Abrams remarked. She added that a podcast offers an “entertaining and informative way to highlight these issues” and allows for a deeper understanding of how policy and politics impact everyday life.
Abrams has a history of collaborating with Crooked Media, having appeared on shows like “Pod Save America” and frequently working with the company to support Fair Fight Action, her organization dedicated to combating voter suppression. Her new podcast aims to translate this experience into a broader, accessible format.
Following a structured approach to each topic—addressing the nature of the problem, its implications, and potential solutions—Abrams plans to demystify complex issues. Each episode will conclude with a toolkit offering listeners guidance on how to further their knowledge and effect change in their communities.

The show is set to debut on August 15, a strategic timing that places it amidst the heat of the upcoming presidential election.
“I can’t imagine a better time,” Abrams noted, emphasizing the urgency and scale of current issues while encouraging listeners to contribute in their own ways. “We can work towards solutions, we can strategize, and we can pick the places where we enter,” she said, advocating for a collective but diversified approach to problem-solving.
Rather than suggesting that individuals must address every issue simultaneously, Abrams’s new podcast seeks to empower people to take manageable steps toward meaningful action.
“What I love to tell folks when I’m having conversations, especially in political moments like this, is that we feel like we’ve got to fix everything, everywhere, all at once. But the point of this podcast is to remind folks that we should each do something, somewhere, soon,” Abrams added.
“Assembly Required with Stacey Abrams” promises to be a crucial resource for listeners seeking to understand and navigate the complex landscape of contemporary issues, providing them with the tools and confidence to make a difference. With its strategic debut ahead of the election, the podcast aims to equip and galvanize its audience during a pivotal time in American politics.
