Contents 1 History 2 Tour 3 Content 4 Reception 5 References 6 External links History The podcast debuted in January 2017 as a successor to Keepin ' it 1600, a political podcast produced by Bill Simmon 's The Ringer and hosted by Favreau, Vietor, Lovett and Pfeiffer which ran from March to December 2016. Pod Save America maintained the basic format of its predecessor. In an interview with Recode 's Kara Swisher, the hosts have stated that, rather than continue the previous podcast, the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States spurred them to create a new, progressive media company with a network of podcasts. Their goal is to inform, entertain, and inspire action or activism. Tour Crooked Media took the podcast on its first live tour, Pod Tours America, in the fall of 2017. Live shows were recorded and released as podcasts. An international tour, Pod Tours the World, was announced for 2018, with live shows in Stockholm, Oslo, Amsterdam and London. Content The podcast typically covers recent news items relating to politics, including the Trump administration, the US government and the Democratic Party, as well as leftwing grassroots activism. The show typically features interviews with politicians, activists and journalists. Notably, the podcast conducted Obama 's last interview as president. Other guests have included Hillary Clinton and senators Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris and Chris Murphy. Guests are often referred to as ' friends of the pod '. Reception The show averages more than 1.5 million listeners an episode, and had been downloaded more than 120 million times by November 2017. The New York Times described the podcast as `` one of the big breakout hits of the nascent resistance movement '', and `` the left 's answer to conservative talk radio... with a shoestring budget and no organizational backing, its hosts seem to have created something that liberals have spent almost two decades, and hundreds of millions of dollars, futilely searching for ''. The San Francisco Chronicle called it `` one of the nation 's most popular podcasts ''. GQ called it one of the `` most popular strategies for coping with the looming death of the republic ''. Newsweek wrote that the show 's hosts `` do something far more rare ( than political analysis ), which is to make politics entertaining and even fun, without ever downplaying what they see as the threat posed to American democracy by the man elected to defend it.
