Crooked believes that we need a better conversation about politics, culture, and the world around us-one that doesn’t just focus on what’s broken, but what we can do to fix it. At a time when it’s increasingly easy to feel cynical or hopeless, former Obama staffers Jon Favreau, Jon Lovett, and Tommy Vietor have created a place where people can have sane conversations that inform, entertain, and inspire action. In 2017 they started Crooked with Pod Save America-a no-bullshit conversation about politics. Since then, we continue to add shows, voices, and opportunities for activism, because it’s up to all of us to do our part to build a better world. That’s it. End of mission.

thank god for this podcast it’s fueling my entire workday

[@PoojaPatel-mj7pz]

Taylor Swift's song killing the vibe happened to a party I went to as well! I was at a 21st; people were fighting over the music to play, and someone played a Taylor Swift song. I think it was a ballad from her first two albums, I think. It killed the vibe immediately, and the atmosphere could not be recovered. Most people were gone within the next 30 minutes, it was quite tragic.

[@boredofcallum]

I fear for the person I am going to become when Brat comes out in June... Miss XCX is killing it at the moment, 360 definitely the song of my summer

[@GanonJr]

I'm a 26 y/o straight guy who listens to Charli XCX and Carly Rae Jepsen. I got into Charli from Ira and Carly from my gay older sister lol.

[@philenright3023]

Geez I’ve watched 20:47 5 times because you won’t say clearly what song you’re talking about - why bother with chapters if you don’t even use them

[@Irathethird]

2:37 “For Espresso to not only be the song of the summer…” those ears okay?

[@taliakinney5698]

Harry's House deserved every award it won. A beautifully made album. I'm sorry Louis is still bitter because it didn't tickle his pickle.

[@vlonjate80]

A couple of false equivalences here on Eurovision. Russia attacked Ukraine, while Israel started this war because it was attacked. The gay vs Palestine political argument is silly because over the years the show has become a platform for LGBTQ support, but allowing contenders to wear palestine support stuff while Israel representative is taking part in the competition would have seem threating to that representative. Again, not to diminish the horrific situation in Gaza, but I would agree with you had Israel not been attacked first. I'm sure the organizers were trying to avoid situations of altercations, even though it did get out if hand. Also as far as good songs, the french song, Mon Amour, was just a mesmerizing ballad. The dutch one, Europapa, is quite a bop here in Netherland, even though unfortunately, the guy was disqualified from the competition due to an altercation backstage.

[@malaakalabri978]

Israel wasn’t attacked first. Gaza is a refugee camp populated by people ethnically cleansed in 1948 in order to create Israel. The universe didn’t begin on October 7th.
