Pod Save the World is a weekly American foreign policy podcast produced and distributed by Crooked Media, and hosted by former White House National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor and Ben Rhodes, the former Deputy National Security Advisor. In each episode, Vietor and Rhodes discuss foreign policy and international relations.[1]
While other Crooked Media podcasts tend to focus heavily on domestic issues within the United States, Pod Save the World discusses global issues and international relations, with a focus on civic involvement. Vietor describes the podcast as a "no bullshit" approach to global news that tries to make complicated issues seem relatable and simple to understand.[2][non-primary source needed]
They promote political activism and encourage democracy through various platforms but their key initiative is Vote Save America. They are closely related to other Crooked Media podcasts such as Lovett or Leave It hosted by Jon Lovett.
