Pod Save the UK

Pod Save the UK is a weekly British political comedy podcast produced and distributed by Crooked Media, in partnership with Reduced Listening.

A spin-off of the podcasts Pod Save America and Pod Save the World hosted by comedian Nish Kumar and journalist Coco Khan, each episode generally features a discussion into a current political issue in the United Kingdom, such as republicanism and freedom of assembly, accompanied with an interview with one or two guests, usually experts and politicians.

[4][5] Kumar described Pod Save the UK as "a British political podcast but made by Americans... the tone is hopefully going to be justified optimism".

[7] Pod Save the UK officially premiered on 4 May 2023 with the episode "Raving for a Republic", featuring a discussion on republicanism in the United Kingdom with guests including Amelia Hadfield, professor of politics at the University of Surrey, and Clive Lewis, a Labour MP and anti-monarchy activist.

[1] James Marriott in the Times was more positive, praising the "banterous energy" and the "refreshing" progressive viewpoint, concluding the premiere was an "impeccable debut".
