Welcome to Pod Save America, I'm Jon Favreau. So, this is our first Sunday show of the new year. We are going to be doing one of these every other Sunday for 2025. Exciting. On each of these shows, We're going to talk to someone really smart in politics or media.
And the idea is to sort of step away from the churn and the breaking news and to have interesting, thoughtful conversations about the big ideas and forces and trends shaping the news, shaping politics that we are all scrambling to digest every day, as I'm sure all of you are as well. I am thrilled that our first Sunday guest is Rachel Maddow, host of The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC.
