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.

    New York Sees Red
    Jun 27 2026

    Mamdani's candidates win big in New York. Pesticides win big at the Supreme Court. And we all win when John Stamos stops by to talk Beach Boys, Full House, and why his dad finally let him quit flipping burgers. Then Jodie-Turner Smith waxes philosophical about aliens, accents, Michael Fassbender, and a gripping defense of toe shoes, courtesy of the Egg of Truth. And don’t worry, baby: we have plenty of Second Thoughts to go around.

    JD Vance treads water on Iran, D.C. swan dives into Reflecting Pool chaos, and Trump lifts a glass to his brand-new Air Force One. This week, Matt Hamilton stops by to discuss local journalism, the L.A. mayoral race, and, of course, a plague of fire rats. Ali Siddiq and Ify Nwadiwe find out if Father really does know best with a round of Would You Rather?, and we have regrets like we’ve never had them before when we share our many, many Second Thoughts.

    It’s Part 2 of our Lovett or Leave It Pride Show Extravaganza! This week, Lovett celebrates Nuclear Family Month, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and Rosie O’Donnell’s incredible facelift. Meanwhile, Ashley Ray and Brendan Scannell crown America’s Top Ally. Atsuko Okatsuka joins us as we burn our hands on Hot Takes about polyamory, bitchy gays, and forcing drag queens to do the splits, and the Second Thoughts library is open as we read Lovett to filth.
