A News-Panel-Gameshow

Jon Lovett wrote speeches for Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton, co-created the popular sitcom The Newsroom, and hosts the beloved podcast you've probably come across called "Pod Save the World." He's also launched a lesser known but totally worthwhile audio series called "Lovett or Leave It," where he has what he calls "very loose" conversations about politics with political pundits, actors, comedians, journalists, and many more. 

The invited speakers participate in a panel-style discussion in front of a live audience, aiming to cover each week's major political topics in casual ways. There's also a gameshow element to the show's format, with segments like "Too Stupid to Be True," in which an audience member is selected and has to determine whether news quotes are real, and "The Rant Wheel," where discussants have to discuss randomly selected topics. Recent episodes focus on topics like the Mueller Report (via a survey of everyone who's been indicted by it), the 2020 election (more candidates?!) and of course the current US president (via an innumerable number of epithets and jokes).
