Which company distributes the political podcast Pod Save America?

The story behind the answer

Crooked Media distributes the political podcast Pod Save America.

The show debuted in January 2017 as the flagship podcast of Crooked Media, a progressive media company founded by former Barack Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor. Dan Pfeiffer, another former Obama aide, also became a regular host.

Pod Save America grew out of Keepin' It 1600, a political podcast the same group made for The Ringer in 2016. Its conversational format mixes political analysis, interviews, jokes, and calls for civic participation. The show is produced and distributed by Crooked Media, rather than by Maximum Fun, Radiotopia, or Wondery.

A common mix-up is confusing the distributor with the presenters. The hosts are the public voices of the program, while Crooked Media is the company behind its production, podcast network, website, live events, and activism initiatives such as Vote Save America.
