Essential listening
I’m Australian and I religiously follow this podcast. The hosts are knowledgeable, insightful and funny. Like most Australians I think a lot of things about American politics are crazy but, like it or not, US politics affects the whole world and this is the best way to find out what’s happening in the Land of the Free. I have learned so much from this show and while I appreciate the whole Crooked Media team and the public service they provide, Pod Save America continues to make me thankful I don’t live there. Keep up the good fight guys!
