Let’s be for real! The catalyst for progress in the U.S has never been started from the top down by elected officials. It starts with us…the voters. So, can we have more insight about what we can do?

At the end of every show, I would like to hear action items not just places I can sign up for email not just other sub stack so I can read. I have plenty of that but real world action items. That’s what we all need now.

The world is a dark and scary place right now and even though sometimes I feel like hearing what’s happening just makes it feel worse it’s important none the less. We should feel afraid of what is going on, we should feel outraged by the blatant attack on civil liberties, freedoms and the very constitution politicians swore to uphold. Knowing about what the right is trying to do and what they are lying about it what will give us the fire to stand up for American values! I appreciate that these guys all have real life political experience and are just some click baiting Gen Z tiktoker trying to get rich quick off of riling people up. There is humor as well as updates on the stark reality we’re living in right now. Interesting interviews with a variety of experts and people with first hand knowledge of what happening. Yes it’s left leaning but they have strong words for democrats too, unlike the right who just seems to be convinced hero worshiping the Don is the only way to survive right now. This is now my favorite podcast and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in getting a view point that is less biased that most political podcasts and also has people who know what they are talking about.

Thank you. I am as enraged as you are and I don’t hear it as loudly anywhere else. I am writing, calling, posting, reposting, discussing, arguing and discussing this issue to absolutely no avail. I do not know where to turn when SCOTUS allows Trump to ignore an order. I am afraid.

Y’all, I don’t trust the democrats. I hear you saying things that,as someone who is pretty far to the left, I can relate to and frankly I wish more of the actual democratic politicians sounded more like you guys, but they don’t. I don’t trust them.

You guys wine and cry about a wife beating illegal game member.

Hey guys, this is Gavin. I get annoyed when I hear the words school shootings. Yet again we had another one today. These red states man are hurting themselves with these gun laws. They are the ones that like to play politics. Desantis has to do better on this. I do not see him being the future face of the GOP or being the President after Trump leaves. He would not do well with national issues. He’s not even a good Governor. I think he is the worst Governor in the country. Time for us to do more on guns! These ridiculous gun laws are going to back fire on the GOP at some point.

I’ve been an avid listener since 2017, really enjoy the work you all do on the pod. Recently, I feel like the pod has become a rage against the Trump machine. It’s honestly just hard to digest anymore. I know things aren’t great right now but I really liked the approach you all took in 2017/2018 on focusing on local elections, house members and dem organizing. Also, I can’t stand the cover images - I hate having photos of Trump on my screen. I would love if you could have more sections that focuses on what we can do / how we can move forward instead of just being an hour long rage rant. I’ve unsubscribed - which I never thought I would do, but I just need to focus on more constructive outlets on fighting back. We could all use your guidance and focus on things we can actually do.

Heavy on the propaganda. Prepare yourself for incredibly bias ‘news’. If you’re hear for a leftist echo chamber, look no further. Total hysteria click bait

I really appreciate the insights and reporting they share. Never miss an episode

I learn something new about how our system works, and our constitution, every single episode, while keeping up on current events. A must listen so you can understand WHY and HOW leadership fails and supports us… We The People, and our American democracy.

You guys keep me sane

I appreciate this pod for the consolidated news recaps and general POVs, but the takes are so deeply upper-middle class cis white that sometimes the meat of the issue is lost. I hope you consider bringing in more diverse voices to round out the conversation. Further, it’s rough to hear ads for Amazon and Walmart propping up a progressive leaning podcast.

Could not be more shocked and disappointed that Pod Save is now sponsored by Walmart?! What a joke! They are one of the most evil corporations and abusive employers of working class people in the country. If this is a voice of the “resistance” we are truly cooked.

The snark and bad jokes detract from the actual policy discussions. Then, you lost me by laughing about 9/11.

5% facts mixed with 95% propaganda

Thank you for the side dish of levity that you bring in the midst of these chaotic and disturbing times! I often laugh out loud to your witty and scathing commentary and enjoy your engaging guest interviews. Thank you!

I cringe every time I hear about Trump’s latest acts of world-class stupidity. It hurts to see him and Musk taking the wrecking ball to departments and services that have helped so many Americans. Listening to your show is upsetting yet somehow hearing you all keeping sane and even funny is hugely reassuring. Thanks.

I started following PSA in 2022. This might never get an answer but If Trump goes to a trade war with China. What is to keep them from just saying “ Alright we’re calling in your loans”. The country doesn’t have the ability to pay that. Would they own the country until it is paid or just own it? Great work keep it up. Love Lovett and Tommy’s interactions.

Guys, you & your guests should try an episode w/o these words: pretty, much, like, you know, on the one hand….The information is helpful but the chatter is distracting. Please stop using the exhausting rhetorical tic: “Right?"). As in “You know what I mean, right?” Oy.

Why do you insist on putting a child in these interviews? It’s hilarious how unprofessional he is.

In regards to Doug Burgum…I know someone who served him in a Fargo, ND restaurant. Reportedly the worst customer she has ever had!!! So the cookie story tracks;)

Just listened to them saying the media is too nice to trump. Biden was fully demented and the media covered it up, but they’re somehow too easy on Trump….right…..

Yikes. Bad choice

Thank you, geniuses! For denigrating your own candidate and an excellent President.

It would be nice if Emma Vigeland could put her October 7 party hat down for a minute. I detest her. Also, no fan at all of Netanyahu, by the way. But Emma is such an obvious antisemite.

For a while they were a great commentary on current events from a liberal perspective. But they’ve swung way too far to the left and this constant “Biden bad Bernie good” is getting annoying. He lost twice, we don’t want him

I want a divorce. I’ve been listening twice a week since you called yourselves Keeping It 1600. Something that was said in a recent pod hit me hard, and it’s only grown more disheartening with added time to reflect. I can’t reconcile a reality where Jon, Jon, and Tommy would not even know what a masters level social worker is, much less that LCSWs are holding the country’s mental health infrastructure together with our bare hands, with Crooked Media’s public face of ‘boots on the ground,’ and ‘meeting real people where they are.’ How, in years of town halls and rallies and live events, have you not worked alongside social workers? Or, more likely, *known* that you were working alongside social workers? You don’t know me, but I’m generally an understanding person. This genuinely bothered me and felt like a shattered illusion. I have to say, I’m keeping Hysteria in the break-up, but I’m giving you back my subscription :/ Also I left you five stars because I have no ill will, just honest feedback.

Best political podcast !

Love PSA! They’ve become my main source of news; a perfect balance of laughs and seriousness in this very scary time. Gained a follower for as long as ya’ll choose to do this!

I lose brain cells every time I hear this podcast.

Going to grab your book Abundance

Great interview- a must listen to

Best podcast for learning what actually matters in our political discourse, how it impacts us, and where we go next.

Excellent episode, excellent book. I totally agree with the authors and will likely dive into their book soon. But it sounds like a “how to” book for the Democratic Party and their politicians. How can this book help somebody like me: a Democrat through and through, who’s willing to help campaign, who votes, but is not likely in a place that will set policy? And has a local Democratic Party not interested in outsiders even though I’ve lived in my city for 19 years. Thanks

Educational, valuable, moving interview. This is happening in our country bc we are led by a malignant narcissistic sociopathic . It will only get worse from the top.

I listen to ya'll all the time and love the show. You make digesting current news enjoyable, actionable and funny which is a huge accomplishment in 2025. I just wanted to stop by though and say that the interview today on Abundance really resonated with me in a way that a lot of the recent reflections on "where to go from here" has not. Thank you for putting that out there in front of us! I'll be chewing on that one for a while!

Needed to post this somewhere. He looks great in the banner.

You all are very smart. Smart enough to know that not everything is a joke. 3 out of 10 times they make great points. Trump and this administration is scary. You all keep saying this is a fascist govt yet keep laughing about it? Can we not keep memeifying horrible governance? this show is just the blue version of a lot of Fox News shows and that’s not a good thing. This is arguably the most listened to liberal podcast and yet no content about local and less known dems and progressives doing work in their communities - the hosts only lock in around election season which is just the same sensationalizing that got us into this mess.

Keep it up

Amazing show, but John especially needs to be aware that his manner of speaking is coming to resemble Rush Limbaugh. In general, I am noting a shift in the tone of the show that is really starting to echo some of the worst toned rhetoric of 90s conservative talk radio.

Thank you for highlighting this issue! This is truly scary.

I can’t stand all the negative reviews. You guys are amazing and so funny. The only problem I have is that I’m as fired up about this administration as u are and agree on most topics so I get angrier after I listen to you. My husband can always tell when I have just listened to you because I start throwing things around the house saying “HOW IS THIS ALL HAPPENING???? WHY ARENT MORE PEOPLE OUTRAGED AT TRUMP AND HIS MINIONS???” Then I watch Bravo and am slowly numbed out by a housewife turning over a table.

Love this podcast! Informative and entertaining.

I pay to much attention to politics, it’s driving me insane 😵‍💫

These guys are my favorite way to stay updated. I appreciate their in depth knowledge and practical experience coming from their political backgrounds. Also feels good to laugh at their friend banter.

Not the Columbia school of social work randomly catching stray punches 😵

A big problem with this podcast is that the hosts will never ever ever question their own beliefs and ideologies. They’d rather double down and argue about semantics and how to best “message” their way to more Dem. votes. They never will debate policy positions. It comes off as extremely disingenuous and manipulative.

Informative and also funny. Great pro-democracy podcast.

Run, don’t walk away from this leftist cult propaganda. Pushing transgenderism to the point where I narrowly escaped cutting off my own P*nis. Terrible. Disgusting. Marxist. Every liberal talking point rolled into a transgender/Trump derangement syndrome propaganda podcast. Listening for more than a few seconds will immediately make you light in the loafers. Proceed with caution.
