Americast Podcast
Americast joined Matt Chorley on 5 Live to answer your election questions!
Americast is the authoritative US news and politics podcast from the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ.
Each week we provide audiences with the best analysis from across the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ, with on-the-ground observations and big picture insights about the stories which are defining America right now.
The podcast is hosted by trusted Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ journalists including the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s North America editor, Sarah Smith, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 presenter, Justin Webb, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s disinformation and social media correspondent, Marianna Spring, and Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4 and every weekend on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ 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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔland Security during the Trump presidency before becoming a whistleblower.
