Calling all Friends of the Pod! The Crooked Media crew is coming to Phoenix, bringing Pod Tours America to Comerica Theatre on Saturday, February 10, 2018.

The evening will feature the co-hosts of the twice-a-week, chart-topping progressive podcast, Pod Save America. Jon Favreau, Tommy Vietor, Jon Lovett, and Dan Pfeiffer candidly discuss the current state of politics, sparring with humor, empathy, and brutal honesty about the latest news. For the live episode, they'll also bring special (yet unannounced) guests to join the panel.

The four friends and former Obama administration staffers started the podcast Keeping it 1600 in March 2016 at the start of the 2016 presidential primaries. They carried on through the election of Donald J. Trump in November, and began addressing a political future unlike anything they had seen before.

They rebranded as Pod Save America in January 2017 to examine both what happened and what happens next. They've quickly expanded their universe to include other shows like Pod Save the World (about global issues), Pod Save the People (stories of people inspiring change),and Lovett or Leave It (a game show-style talk show and panel), among others.

They established the Crooked Media brand to encompass their stable of pods, as well as columns from editorial contributors like Ira Madison III of The Daily Beast; Symone Sanders, the former press secretary for Bernie Sanders; and Tim Miller, a former adviser for Jeb Bush, Tim Miller.

This will be their first time touring to Phoenix, and the stop is part of a lengthy nationwide run that ends in May at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

Pod Tours America will stop at Comerica Theatre in Phoenix on Saturday, February 10, 2018. Tickets are on sale now for $45 to $65 on Ticketmaster, where VIP passes are also available.
