Americast Podcast
Has political violence become the new normal? We answer your questions.
Americast is the authoritative US news and politics podcast from the 主播大秀.
Each week we provide audiences with the best analysis from across the 主播大秀, with on-the-ground observations and big picture insights about the stories which are defining America right now.
The podcast is hosted by trusted 主播大秀 journalists including the 主播大秀鈥檚 North America editor, Sarah Smith, 主播大秀 Radio 4 presenter, Justin Webb, the 主播大秀鈥檚 disinformation and social media correspondent, Marianna Spring, and 主播大秀 North America correspondent, Anthony Zurcher.
As well as political analysis, we also specialise in social media. Each week Marianna Spring brings listeners the latest updates from the 主播大秀鈥檚 Undercover Voters, our award-winning investigation into the content that is recommended to US voters on social media.
The team is also joined by special guests each week, like CNN anchor, Christiane Amanpour, Emmy Award-winning TV host, Rachel Maddow, and Succession actress, J Smith-Cameron.
Podcasts are published every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. As well as being a podcast, we are also available every Friday night on 主播大秀 Radio 4 and every weekend on the 主播大秀 News Channel.
Every Monday we answer your questions on Americanswers, with some help from special guests, including Miles Taylor, who was chief of staff at the Department for 主播大秀land Security during the Trump presidency before becoming a whistleblower.
