Couldn’t love a pod more. It’s saved my sanity and gives perspective on what can actually be done to help. Even better it has launched an engaged community of activists that I think has changed the course of this Democratic Party for the better along the way. Smart and funny hosts who know their stuff. Still great - timely interesting and entertaining too.

Are y’all hearing yourselves???

Even the not too distant past Because they were younger It also can depend on how the question is asked You know that becc because you are political professionals

PLEASE be sure to invite this impressive Representative FREQUENTLY. We must do everything single thing we can to ELEVATE her profile and good works. Loved the interview with Tommy; love Tommy’s interviews. Thanks.💙🩵💙

Back in 2017 PSA got me through the dark days of the Trump admin. But they seem to have an obsession with talking about what the Dems should be doing, what the candidates should be talking about, how the press should be covering it, etc. It’s more like wishful thinking under the guise of political strategy than any kind of meaningful political analysis. These guys should just start a media consulting firm already. As a podcast their commentary offers little to help me understand and contextualize the quotidian issues at hand. Also, how is it that after all these years Dan Pfeiffer still talks like an auctioneer with a mouth full of marbles? You’d think one of his fellow hosts or the people handling the audio would have mentioned the importance of enunciation.

Had to stop listening to them months ago when it became obvious they are avoiding any deep discussion on the genocide that Joe is funding, which happens to be the biggest Democratic Party issue, and a major talking point in the election … oh and in the world. Lovett tried to be real about it in a few episodes last fall, but my guess is they silenced him. True shame. Gave the show a recent listen just to confirm before I officially unsubscribe, but it’s clear they keep generally silent on the matter. Bye guys.

Perhaps you could take a midnight cruise down the Potomac with Klaus Meine and get the CIA to help you write a song.

In this day and age of AI audio tuning, how does Dan Pfeiffer’s voice still sound like wet gravel being ground into my ear holes? Please either run his mic through a clean-up filter, or get him some vocal coaching because my ears can’t do this anymore 😭

Love the pod and everything that Crooked does. Great interview with Alex Garland (ep859). It’s good to hear a centrist POV to keep my more extreme takes in check.

Blech

Any chance you would reconsider the cover image(s) for the show? It’s a massive drag to (a) have to see frequent images of Trump and his MAGA flunkies when playing the pod and (b) have these images pop up on my phone or in my car, potentially being misinterpreted by folks who don’t know I’m not a hater of democracy. Anyway, keep up the great work otherwise and thanks!

One of my first reviews for a podcast, but I gotta say Pod Save America is my first podcast I ever listened to and started before the 2016 presidential election. This podcast is hilarious and Tom, Dan, and the Jon’s really put things in a great perspective. They are sincere, effective communicators, and masterfully put your thoughts into a meaningful way to speak on it. Keep it up Crooked Media and highly recommend this show to anyone and everyone.

Great episode

I find the content so monotonous and it has become hard to listen to this. Your egos are just too big now for me to be in the room. Final straw (unrelated) today was saying, “RIP to the juice” as if he is some kind of hero. You can mention his death without such oblivious, friendly commentary. The guy is a murderer who got away with it only because of the incompetency of the judge and prosecutors. For people who know history, you obviously don’t care about this history. SMH. I’m following others this election cycle. Tommy is especially annoying. I follow the Bulwark and his appearance was my day off.

Used to really enjoy Pod Save America, but it’s really become phoned in these days. Every episode is just “Trump polls Trump polls polls polls Trump Trump.” It’s purely reactive and I can’t recall the last time I actually learned something meaningful from these guys. The jokes are getting old and derivative, and the constant “did you see what Trump said today?” exasperation is boring. They increased to 3x a week but seem to have less to say than ever before.

Definitely don’t agree with everything these guys say, but you know what you get when you’re listening to this podcast. I listen to these guys just to make sure I get news from a variety of sources (left, center, right). One thing I don’t like is how I haven’t really heard these guys say that they far left is wrong, ever. The podcast I listen to on the right will own up to the bad things that happen and I wish these guys would, no one side is in the right as much as these guys think they/their side are.

Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right? Right?

The laughter of the last episode was off putting. These are actual issues, people, and problems. Will check in when the discussions stop being solely dependent on 24 new cycle circle jerking. Be better.

I like this show sometimes, but really wish they wouldn’t hold themselves out to be leftists or progressives when they’re moderate at best, by any true progressive standard. Doesn’t help that it’s a bunch of privileged cis white men.

This is what needs to known.

Should be required listening

Obviously jacked up everytime he sends out 70+ ‘truths.’ Everything he projects at others he is guilty of.

Yes! Assert that T goes along with the Florida measure of a 6-week ban. Don’t let him set the terms of the “debate.”

Release your tax returns and we’ll debate

Crooked Media has good taste.

Love the Pod! What happens if Trump strokes out during the campaign? Who becomes the nominee, and is that even scarier than Trump?

hey guys - listening to you and really Trump wants NO VP! if he plays the game - which i doubt he will- he’ll throw them under the bus cuz all he wants is to be a DICTATOR

Can someone explain how a pollster finds 900 people who still answer “unknown number” calls?

I wonder if you could have a discussion about what these Steve Bannon, RFK jr type’s actually want. It’s clear they are against the current form of US government , but what are they for, complete anarchy? All these Trump supporters are probably collecting Social Security or some other benefit, yet they want to destroy all social programs and the like. Thanks for a great show.

I’m a rather boring kind of leftist, a liberal democratic socialist who is suspicious of governmental and corporate power but who believes that the answer is radical reform that redistributes power and resources. I like representative democracy, the rule of law, and popular movements that make society better, freer, and fairer. Pod Saves America is one of the best in terms of getting into the nitty gritty of electoral politics and cultural wars, and both matter, so that’s great. But, at the end of the day, as an American living abroad with the values mentioned, I see clearly the myopia that electoralism and wonkery—as well as an overly domestic focus on a nation whose politics has, well, global implications—can breed, so take this for what it is: a fun, informative show that is good at a couple things that matter. And seek the rest elsewhere.

Love this podcast!

The least original, most partisan, ultra banal Democrat takes that mimic Rachel Maddow, Joy Reid, Hillary Clinton, and Jen Psaki. Liberal bubble fetid hive mind garbage

I don’t miss an episode!!

Senator Warnock, during your guest spot, you mentioned the tragedy of the wounded Gazan children who have no family. I agree with you — it is heartbreaking. However, you made no mention of the Israeli and multinational hostages who have been held in captivity for over five months now. Many of them have no families; they were brutally massacred on October 7. Many of the hostages have children, grandchildren, and spouses who are waiting at home in agony, wondering if their loved ones are being tortured or raped, or if they’re even alive. Senator, you have a good heart, but it apparently isn’t compassionate enough to condemn the inhumane torture of these innocent souls. Please do not forget them.

So glad they have a platform to repeat propaganda and terrible ideas. Yay. Losers.

These self absorbed narcissists masquerading as political mavens are pathetic. They need to ask whatever institution conferred a degree on them for a refund of their student loan or parent’s hard earned money. They were cheated out of a real education that produces people with deductive reasoning skills and inquisitive minds. What they received was Marxist indoctrination with pieces of parchment worth absolutely nothing of value.

Show is supposedly “liberal” or “left leaning”, just observe how often the show is simply “republicans bad, orange man bad”. Four guys who used to be imbedded in the democratic machine, writing speeches that justified drone striking children and weddings, infrequently share their takes on how democrats need to just tweak their messaging enough to get white conservative women in the suburbs to vote for them. A pointless show for rubes who don’t know history and are voting democrat regardless to circle jerk about how the country is falling apart because of the other half of the broken political system (please, do not scrutinize how frequently democrats vote for the same policies as republicans, that wouldn’t be the correct take here). These dweebs have their heads driven so far up a blue donkeys rectum they actually think people want to vote Joe Biden because he’s a good president- mf is literally dying in front of us and they want to talk about how he’s got pep in his step and that’s what makes him a viable candidate. I’ve got bad news if you think orange man bad, he’s beat all the political accusations thrown his way and he’s walking into four more years, so let’s go Brandon!

Thank you for dropping Exxon as a sponsor (it seems). In the most recent pod (3/22/24) you talked about how climate activists need to support Biden and help spread the message about the great things he’s done. But it MUST be acknowledged that the IRA mandated several 60+ million acre offshore oil leases and more onshore oil and gas expansion. Until then, your words fall on deaf ears with climate activists. I want to help Biden win, but I’ll disrespect frontline partners if I celebrate the IRA. Biden needs to actually reverse course on oil and gas leasing.

I have listened to this podcast from the beginning and was a huge fan but just can’t take it anymore. The last episode with Katie “Stop The Steal” Porter and taking Trump’s “bloodbath” comment out of context (talking about auto jobs/production in Mexico not civil war) was the last straw. I am also throwing away my FRIEND OF THE POD hoodie. I have voted for Democrats for 40 years but am being pushed to the right by the far left positions and left-leaning media. Try the center like Bill Maher.. the most trusted. If I were a cynic, I’d say you want Trump to win to keep your outrage and podcast going.

I started listening to these guys when I was locked in my house in 2020. These guys are brilliant, thought-provoking, and they deeply care. I love their commentary, their guests, and the humor that they add even in these troubling times. Got to see them live a couple years ago and can’t wait to see them again. Favorite podcast of all.

Was looking forward to your take cause you’re on TikTok but was instead SHOCKED by your take. Did we forget about documented proof that Facebook messed w/our elections? Hello Cambridge Analytica! Twitter aka X is a cesspool of Bots, racists & conspiracies. But ZERO mention of those companies in that Bill. Not saying that TikTok doesn’t have its issues but People can unite and share what’s going on in Gaza. We need REAL comprensivo oversight on ALL social media platforms. The owner of TikTok is from Singapore where there offices are. Yes ByteDance is their parent company in China but back in 2017 they moved our data to an American company Oracle. Let’s not cherry pick. Lastly, the Dems kept the Senate, Presidency and the “Red Wave” was stopped because TikTok creators got out support for Dems. So if Dems want to lose, go ahead and ban it. TikTok is not going to sell. Dems are literally snatching defeat out of the jaws of victory 🤦🏿‍♀️

If your looking for the ultimate echo chamber of a podcast that rejects objective thought… you found it here. A complete waste of time for anyone looking for podcasts to promote thought. This is a complete progressive advocacy podcast that rejects all forms of counter opinion.

All of there shows are leftist and crooked.

Thank you, Jon, Jon, Tommy, Dan, and all the PSA Crew, for being unapologetic Democrats and Liberals! I’m proud of the work you do and use your messages all the time in my sphere of influence. One favor - please stop calling attention to how much the media calls attention to “concerns” voters have about Joe Biden’s age, and bring back your influence to the tools you can give us, that we can control, as we fight to keep him in the White House.

Can you talk more about how for instance, keeping abortion access as a voter issue incentivizes Democrats not to do anything about it? (For instance, having Roe as case law for 50 years but not codifying it.) Isn’t this the same as how the migrant/border voter issue incentivizes republicans not to act on it? Seems even Biden only said he’d sign a border deal at a time he knew republicans wouldn’t agree to it, giving him a talking point on a GOP priority but still maintaining the issue for republicans. Would love to hear more about how these political games don’t help anyone but politicians and how they should move away from that tactic and who in Washington actually is.

This is one of my primary sources for political info and I am grateful for the PSA crew!

Long time listener. I don’t like seeing Trumps picture on my screen while I am listening ☹️

But please please please, no more Jane Coaston. That last episode was marginally informative, and not the least bit entertaining.

Love co host Jane Coaston can we get her as a regular?

The profanities are a bit much. You all have very extensive vocabularies and don’t need to use foul language to get your point across.
