Pod Save America Crooked Media

Jon is joined by youth polling experts John Della Volpe and Kristen Soltis Anderson to talk about apathy among young voters this election cycle. Why are they so disengaged? Are some truly defecting to Trump? And what message, if any, can get them out for the polls? Jon, John, and Kristen dive into the focus group tape to unpack Gen Z’s opinions of our octogenarian presidential candidates, their top economic issues, and the war in Gaza. And Anderson Clayton, the 26-year-old Chair of the North Carolina Democratic Party, joins to talk about Gen Z’s faith in their own ability to improve democracy.

Jon Lovett, Elijah Cone, Caroline Reston and Caroline Dunphy gather around the zoom to share their internet escapades. From hard launching breakups, and the beginning of a TikTok cult, to fake online prom dress drama, and the Lebron James/Bronny nepo baby discourse. New episodes drop every Saturday morning (except for this week!), and don't forget to join our Discord server using this link: https://fotp.supercast.com/oauth/discord.

President Biden’s campaign fights to contain fallout from the disastrous debate, as Democrats begin to go public with concerns. Jon, Tommy, and Dan discuss the polling and the media-frenzy, what Biden should be doing, and how all this drama could impact down-ballot races. The Supreme Court’s stunning round of right-wing decisions deals damage to American institutions, and further raises the stakes of this election. Steve Bannon goes to prison.

The guys are on tour, so the producers take over! Caroline Reston, Elijah Cone, Kendra James, and Fiona Pestana share Pod Save America and Lovett or Leave It tour stories before discussing Charli Xcx's remix with Lorde, a right-wing TV host's Pride Month engagement, and Dave Grohl vs. Taylor Swift beef. New episodes drop every Saturday morning.

Democrats begin to grapple with two huge questions: is it possible to replace Biden at the top of the ticket—and is it wise? Mehdi Hasan joins Jon, Lovett, Tommy, and Dan, live in Boston, to debate the options. Plus, Gov. Maura Healey joins the show to give her own debate reaction and talk about rising to the challenge on immigration and abortion.

Joe Biden turns in a disastrous debate performance, missing an opportunity to take advantage of Donald Trump's (many) lies and unhinged moments, and sowing real doubt about his strength as a candidate over the long run. Jon, Lovett, Tommy, and Dan discuss what went wrong and what might happen now.
