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