What was the wildest policy pitch fmr WH Director of Speechwriting @codykeenan ever got for a State of the Union? Abolish the penny Subscribe to Friends of the Pod to listen to the latest Inside 2024 where @jonfavs & @AlyssaMastro44 discuss writing a SOTU crooked.com/friends
To mark 100 years since the first presidential radio broadcast, @BBCRadio4 asked our own @codykeenan to host a Very Special Episode of Archive on 4, leading a discussion with a panel including our friend @SaradaPeri Give it a listen! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
Here is the list of books that I aspire to read this summer. 📚 Any recommendations to add to the list? ⬇️
Finally. I’ve been badgering him to open up about this for years
The Obama Era had a lasting impact on the politics of our generation.
18-29 year olds have been very Democratic since 2008. What’s new is that since that specific cohort has remained very Democratic but gotten 15 years older, 35-42 year olds are now very Democratic…haven’t really had that before in modern history.
.@codykeenan ’02 spent eight years as a White House speechwriter for President @BarackObama Now a visiting professor at Northwestern, Keenan teaches a course on speechwriting at @WeinbergCollege bit.ly/40p40wV
Celebrated Grace hitting #1 in Dublin the best way I know how...thanks to everyone who hosted me and hoisted pints over the week, feeling very lucky ☘️
Ambassador Claire Cronin @USAmbIreland welcomed guests to an evening with President Obama's speech writer @codykeenan @USEmbassyDublin Prof Patrick Geoghegan @tcddublin as host.
Can a school field trip to the @EMKInstitute advance the career of a future US Senator? Most definitely, and I won't be a bit surprised if it did so today.
New thread: Today is the 58th anniversary of the start of the Selma to Montgomery marches and 8 years since President Obama delivered a speech commemorating those historic events. youtube.com/watch?time_con…
It was a true surprise and serious honor to learn that GRACE was nominated for a @naacpimageaward, especially in the company of these authors. Not at all surprising was getting my ass handed to me by the incomparable @violadavis 🏆

You can’t always program the day after the SOTU…but Biden talking with workers in Wisconsin while the Republican frontrunners call each other pedophiles and the House GOP holds a hearing to whine about vaccines and not enough people liking their tweets, that’s just well done
Biden's speech was great. He had a good message, a great delivery, and handled the MAGA hecklers. But IMO, the most important part was a subtle but explicit attempt to address the existential threat to the Dem coalition - erosion with working class voters messagebox.substack.com/p/bidens-blue-…
It's one of the most important and also hardest to write speeches of the year...so how does it actually work? (hint: bourbon) @codykeenan @saradaperi @JeffreyNussbaum You can watch now here: pck.tv/3RFLxZt
I pulled together a few of my friends and favorite speechwriters @codykeenan @saradaperi @JeffreyNussbaum to talk about the sausage making of #SOTU addresses and what to expect tonight for a Peacock Special. You can watch here: pck.tv/3RFLxZt
