Lovett or Leave It

Former Obama speechwriter, self-described comedian and Pod Save America co-host Jon Lovett takes the stage for a new season of the hit show that dared guests from Danny DeVito to Amy Klobuchar to ask “What is this?” and “Where am I?”

Each week, Jon breaks down the biggest and dumbest stories in politics to help you keep up with and laugh at the news, with big guests and surprising conversations you won’t find anywhere else.

New episodes every Saturday morning on your podcast feed and on YouTube. And if you’re in LA, come to a taping. You’ll be amazed by what we cut from the live show.

The Mitch Is Back 2: Mitch On Wheels

Trump makes America an offer we can refuse at the Republican midterm convention; Zohran Mamdani reminds Rudy Giuliani who the actual mayor of New York is, and Anthropic shrugs its shoulders at the end of the world. 

This week, Katie Porter looks back at her campaign for governor, before reading Lovett for filth. Larry Wilmore keeps it 100, and then some.

The Good, the Bat and the Ugly

JD Vance and Ted Cruz throw punches, the gerontocracy fights back, and Hunter Biden swings both ways.

Paula Poundstone seizes control of the show, and our audience couldn’t be more thrilled. The Rant Wheel spins us through inconsiderate trail users and constantly having to have things to rant about! And we take a final bow with Second Thoughts.

Democracy Goes Postal

Meta ponies up the dough, Flock is for the birds, and Tim Curry shuffles off to that big Transexual, Transylvania in the sky.

Harp of Darkness

Survivor hall-of-famer John Cochran revisits his legendary rise from tribe traitor to king of the island. He gets into the bullying antics of his first go at the crown, the mixed bag of superfans joining the game, and how the Survivor arena isn’t that too far off from the political one. He and Lovett also bond over their compulsion to self-deprecate, which seems to have worked out pretty well for them both so far.
