The Best People with Nicolle Wallace S2025E24 - "Pod Save America" Co-Hosts: Re-Humanization Needs to be a Goal Now

"Pod Save America" began as a way to "narrow the distance" between the conversations former Obama White House staffers were having in private and the ones echoing throughout the public sphere. And since launching in 2017, it's become a force in America's competitive media culture. As two of the three co-founders behind Crooked Media, Jon Favreau and Tommy Vietor are ushering in a new era of political communication, championing a craft many Democratic lawmakers might learn from – one that threads entertainment and information, and turns audience engagement into activism. They join Nicolle to talk about the stakes of the November 2025 election, what it would take for new Dem leaders to emerge, and what lessons they carry from their former boss, President Obama.
