Welcome to Potsay of America, I'm John Favreau.

I'm John Lovehead.

I'm Tommy Vittor.

On the pod today we have political reporter at the Guardian Sabrina Sadecki and former

White House lawyer to President Obama and friend of the pod Danielle Grete, a huge

friend of the pod.

Before we begin a few announcements, Tommy you want to take first?

Big announcement guys, crooked media's empire is growing.

They were announced a new show called Pod Save the World.

The idea behind the show is I was not someone that was particularly focused on foreign

policy for most of my life and then I spent four years working on the White House with

the National Security Council and was involved in some of the day that had been a lot of

operation.

I was sitting there in the situation room and was in meetings about Syria and Iran and

some of the hardest topics we faced and it was the most fascinating education of a lifetime.

I went from thinking that this was too complicated and boring and inaccessible to me to the most

important and fascinating thing you could be a part of.

So I'm going to try to do a series of interviews with people who I worked with along the

way, reporters and others who are with the in those meetings to bring you guys behind

the scenes into what it's like, how these decisions get made and the stories of the people

who make them.

So please subscribe to Pod Save the World.
