Vietor describes the podcast as "a no bullshit"[4] approach to global news that tries to make complicated issues seem relatable and simple to understand. Notable guests include former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, former White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough, and US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate Tim Kaine[5] Pod Save the World debuted as number one on the iTunes podcast chart on January 10th 2017.[6]
