Jon Favreau, a former speechwriter for President Barack Obama, finally has a place for his Sonos speakers, Parachute sheets, and Blue Apron meals. Those are some of the sponsors he enthusiastically hawks on the popular podcast “Pod Save America.” He and his rotating band of ex-Obama staffers have made the podcast a must-listen for disaffected Democrats.
The Crooked Media co-founder and his wife, Emily Black, have settled in SoCal, where they purchased a Spanish-style bungalow in L.A. for $1.9 million in early August.
The three-bedroom, three-bath home was built in the 1920s and comes “beautifully updated,” according to the listing. Measuring 1,946 square feet, it features an open floor plan that makes for easy entertaining.

The light-filled living room features gray floors, a fireplace, and arched ceiling and doorway. It is adjacent to the formal dining room with glass doors that open to a grassy side yard.

The newly renovated kitchen features top-quality appliances, a breakfast bar, laundry room, and access to the outdoor deck and barbecue area.

The master suite comes with a designer bathroom, and guest rooms with dual baths open to a “tropical backyard.”
The outdoor area features a pool and spa, and deck with lounging and dining areas.

The home purchase is yet another milestone for the 36-year-old wordsmith. This summer, Favreau and Black married at Black’s family home in Maine.
After Donald Trump won the November election, the Massachusetts native quickly co-founded a media company called Crooked Media. The company has launched multiple political-themed podcasts, which have become popular with listeners opposed to the country’s current leadership.
“Pod Save America,” which Favreau co-hosts, has about 800,000 listeners per episode.
