Progressive podcast stars Tommy Vietor, Jon Lovett, and Jon Favreau, hosts of Pod Save America, have signed a deal for four specials in time for the Midterms in November. The podcast by the trio, all of whom are former staffers for Barack Obama, has grown to average more than 1.5 million listeners an episode and boast more than 120 million downloads. Social is psyched to see them on HBO, with the news prompting anticipation and 78 percent positive opinions. Pod Save America has long been compared with conservative talk-radio star Rush Limbaugh, but the hosts see their show as a different animal. “They’re all about getting people angry all the time,” Favreau told The Boston Globe on Tuesday. “We do better when we communicate with people with humor and with inspiration.” –Hugo Guzman, Image: Twitter / @PodSaveAmerica
