Pod Save America is a no-b******t conversation about politics hosted by former Obama aides Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer, and Tommy Vietor. It cuts through the noise to break down the week's news and helps people figure out what matters and how they can help. They're regularly joined by journalists, activists, politicians, entertainers, and world leaders. New episodes every Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.
About 3 episodes a week.
Recently covered: Abdul El-Sayed's campaign is defined by a clear, progressive message of money out of politics, money in your pockets, and Medicare for all that resonates with voters in person, even as Republicans deploy Islamophobic attacks and outside money to paint him as a radical, Trump's foreign policy is defined by inaction and self-interest, whether in the Middle East, where he pretends the war isn't happening while threatening allies like Oman, or in Asia, where he punishes South Korea for not aiding his Iran war by scaling back joint military exercises, thereby weakening U.S. strategic position in both regions, Casey Newton repeatedly emphasizes that the immediate risks of AI, such as autonomous attacks and bio-weapons, are more concrete and pressing than speculative doom scenarios, and he argues that focusing on present-day harms and grassroots opposition is the most effective way to address the technology's dangers. This recurring theme connects his advice on journalistic focus, his skepticism of future predictions, and his optimism about community organizing against data centers.
