More than ever before, politics affect the lives of Americans. It dominates headlines and the news cycle, in turn creating a glaring need for discussions to include fresh, thoughtful voices. HBO says this series of specials, an extension of the trendy and same-named political podcast, provides just that. Hosted by Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, Dan Pfeiffer and Tommy Vietor, former aides to President Obama, the hourlong specials are taped in front of live audiences and, according to press material, include freewheeling conversations about politics, the press and the challenges posed by the Trump presidency. The hosts discuss the week's news events, there are pre-taped field pieces highlighting local issues, and guests include journalists, politicians and activists.

As many of the podcast episodes are recorded audio from live shows, these HBO specials feel like high-production-value versions of the same thing, with more prominent guest stars and an extremely snazzy set. Go to Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter 10/15/2018
So the podcast offers sharp political commentary and urgent calls to activism, but does so while managing to be very funny as well. Go to Full Review Brenden Gallagher The Daily Dot 10/17/2018
1/5
Cringeworthy jokes and awkward cadences aside, Pod Save America doesn't just fail as a TV show; it doesn't work well as political analysis either. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
