Pod Save the World now has it's very own channel! Be here every Wednesday for full episodes of the podcast and stick around the rest of the week for shareable clips and occasional YouTube exclusives! Like most people, Pod Save America cohost Tommy Vietor thought foreign policy was boring and complicated until he got the education of a lifetime working for President Obama’s National Security Council. It was a crash course that taught him two things: anyone can understand these issues, and we all have an obligation to try. That’s why he started Pod Save the World—a weekly podcast that breaks down international news and foreign policy developments, but doesn’t feel like homework. Each week, he and former deputy national security advisor and co-host Ben Rhodes walk you through the latest developments with a variety of experts and take you behind the scenes of big decisions with the people who were there. Count on hearing stories from the White House Situation Room, funny anecdotes, and maybe a few F bombs along the way.

Produced in partnership between Reduced Listening and Crooked Media, the company behind Pod Save America. New episodes out Thursdays.
WORLD CORRUPT IS BACK FOR SEASON 2! Why is Saudi Arabia investing billions in soccer? Roger Bennett of the Men in Blazers Media Network and Tommy Vietor of Crooked Media team up for season 2 of World Corrupt to explore how an oil-rich nation with a troubled human rights record has essentially secured the 2034 World Cup. They trace the political history of the House of Saud, count the billions being spent on wooing everyone from top soccer talent to Silicon Valley investors, and comb through the motivations of the kingdom’s infamous crown prince, Mohammed Bin Salman. SEASON 1: The world’s most-watched sporting competition this year will not be a feel-good affair. FIFA, soccer’s corrupt governing body, awarded the 2022 edition of the World Cup to Qatar via bribery. The teams, players, and fans of the game must now grapple with the complexities of an ethically fraught, morally bankrupt tournament already soaked in blood and oil– a sportswashed public relations exercise for Qatar that has cost an untold amount of migrant workers their lives since the announcement was made. This dilemma is at the core of World Corrupt, a joint effort from Men in Blazers and Crooked Media. The series will be hosted by two friends, Men in Blazers’ Roger Bennett and Pod Save the World’s Tommy Vietor. Roger’s deep understanding of football history and Tommy’s geopolitical analysis will combine to help listeners understand the tectonic plates shifting under the sporting events they love, and empower them to simultaneously revel in the sporting genius on display, and take action against the grave injustices that have been wrought.
