An Atlanta based podcast with a rotating panel and guest spots. 285Live is the real, unfiltered voice of Atlanta—where culture, comedy, and community collide. Hosted by a crew of longtime friends with deep Southern roots, each episode blends personal stories, hometown nostalgia, and honest conversations about family, music, growth, and everything in between. Whether we’re breaking down Atlanta sports, debating Thanksgiving plates, or shouting out local artists and small businesses, we keep it 100% authentic and 100% ATL.
From porch talks to deep dives, this is the podcast where the South got something to say—and we’re saying it loud, proud, and unapologetically.
