Lovett Or Leave It

Audacy will expand its partnership with Crooked Media by carrying "Lovett or Leave It" across CHANNEL Q, an Audacy LGBTQ+ Talk Radio Network, effective immediately. The podcast will now be heard on CHANNEL Q stations in 32 markets and nationwide via the Audacy app, Mondays from 1-2:30pm ET, beginning June 28.

Hosted by former president Barack Obama's speechwriter Jon Lovett, the program features guests that include comedians, actors, journalists, activists, politicians and other 'Friends of the Pod' who break down the week's biggest news and current political landscape each week.

"We're delighted to build on our existing partnership with Crooked Media and deliver Lovett or Leave It to our CHANNEL Q audience, over the air in 32 markets and digitally nationally via station's stream on the Audacy platform, each weekday," said Audacy Executive VP of Programming Jeff Sottolano. "The show's quick and witty flair for discussing the most relevant topics surrounding today's political and pop culture landscapes is what differentiates itself and we look forward to welcoming the show to the CHANNEL Q family."

"Lovett or Leave It is a show where Jon Lovett talks about everything from the most pressing political and social issues, to what everyone is bingeing on TV, to the latest trends in scientific advancement - all with his incredibly intelligent and hilarious point of view," added Crooked Media Senior VP Programming Sandy Girard. "We're so excited to expand our partnership with Audacy to bring Lovett or Leave It to even more listeners around the country and to kick it off with our special Pride episode ‘Out of The Closets and Into the Streets.'"
