Americast is the authoritative US news and politics podcast from the BBC.
Each week we provide audiences with the best analysis from across the BBC, with on-the-ground observations and big picture insights about the stories which are defining America right now.
The podcast is hosted by trusted BBC journalists including the BBC’s North America editor, Sarah Smith, BBC Radio 4 presenter, Justin Webb, the BBC’s disinformation and social media correspondent, Marianna Spring, and BBC 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 BBC’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 BBC Radio 4 and every weekend on the BBC 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 Homeland Security during the Trump presidency before becoming a whistleblower.
Got a question or a comment? Get in touch with us on email at Americast@bbc.co.uk or WhatsApp on +44 330 123 9480.
By the way, you can now listen to Americast on a smart speaker. If you want to listen, just say ‘”Ask BBC Sounds to play Americast”. It works on most smart speakers.

The alleged fairness in this group's coverage of a foreign election merely masks a certain acceptance of and even support for Trump and the Republicans, especially for co-host Justin Webb. Instead of actually shedding light on lies, duplicity, and true fascism, this podcast seeks to portray this corrupted version of American Republicanism as incidental or even understandable, while they give uneven and harsh scrutiny to the Democratic perspective. I would expect better from the BBC.

Fauci ignored and suppressed the findings of actual clinicians responsible for the often successful treatment of countless covid patients. He did this on behalf of an incentive structure with the profits of big pharmaceutical companies at the top. He made lots of money to advance their narrative, and never had responsibility to treat a single patient.
Hi, I am disappointed in that in having someone of the stature, experience and capacity of Dr Fauci as an interviewee you then generally waste the opportunity with simplistic, obvious questions. Note that Dr Fauci's experiences at the hands of the social media cowards appalls me as I am sure it does you also. But why not ask Dr Fauci at least one question on the lessons learned from the pandemic and what steps need to be taken for the next one. Regards Ian (UK)

PLEASE cut out the Miss Information stuff.
Does anyone know where Sopes and Maitlis' new podcast is yet? or what it's called? Thanks
Thanks for the podcast ❤️
My weekly Americast is back and I'm happy for it!
Our ears have been blessed ❤️
First time I've listened to this podcast after a recommendation. Oh dear, it was very one sided, don't know what they have against Biden. Whenever the Americans left it was going to be a shitshow. The point about Biden's performance affecting November 22 elections was even counted by the Washington Afghans saying the evacuation was not a news item now. Don't think it will be an issue 15 months from now
It wasn't a withdrawal, it was a retreat. That is why it hurts so much.

"Thank you sir" to the Republican representative? Will you now give that honour to UK politicians you interview?
