Jon Lovett Podcast
Beginning in March 2016, Lovett co-hosted The Ringer’s political podcast Keepin’ it 1600 alongside former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Dan Pfeiffer, and Tommy Vietor. The podcast was intended to cover the 2016 presidential contest and is not planned to continue beyond that. After the November 2016 election, Lovett, Favreau, and Vietor wanted to get back into politics without having to leave Los Angeles or return to political campaigning.
So they launched Crooked Media, a lefty media business known for its flagship podcast, Pod Save America. Crooked Media, and Pod Save America in particular, have been compared to earlier left-wing efforts such as Air America to compete with America’s Conservative talk radio, with Lovett portrayed as giving comic relief to the programming. Since then, the firm has created a number of podcasts, with Lovett appearing on a regular basis in many.
In March 2017, Lovett debuted Lovett or Leave It, a panel program podcast produced by Crooked Media. The podcast, which is generally produced in front of a live audience in Los Angeles, has gone on national and international tours with Lovett and Crooked Media, performing live versions of both Pod Save America and Lovett or Leave It. Lovett also helped develop Crooked Media’s voter mobilization and education initiative, Vote Save America.
