Join the Americast team for the latest insights and analysis from the US. Listen on 成人快手 Sounds.
Americast is the authoritative US news and politics podcast from the 成人快手.
Each week we provide audiences with the best analysis from across the 成人快手, with on-the-ground observations and big picture insights about the stories which are defining America right now.
The podcast is hosted by trusted 成人快手 journalists including the 成人快手鈥檚 North America editor, Sarah Smith, 成人快手 Radio 4 presenter, Justin Webb, the 成人快手鈥檚 disinformation and social media correspondent, Marianna Spring, and 成人快手 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 成人快手鈥檚 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 成人快手 Radio 4 and every weekend on the 成人快手 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 成人快手land Security during the Trump presidency before becoming a whistleblower.
