About this listen

Jon Lovett is a former speech writer for Barack Obama, a progressive activist and co-host of a global hit political podcast. Sounds serious, right? Yet, out of the four hosts of the popular Pod Save America, Lovett it is known as the funny one. He's a comedian who appeared on a season of Survivor, wrote a political sitcom that lasted one season and even worked on Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom. Lovett joins Good Weekend Talks ahead of his podcast's Australian tour for a chat about everything from how Australia should deal with Trump to the way Democrats and America generally are coping with the increasingly confronting events of Trump's second term. Today's episode is hosted by Good Weekend senior writer Melissa Fyfe.
