大象传媒

Americast is the authoritative US news and politics podcast from the 大象传媒.

Each week we provide audiences with the best analysis from across the 大象传媒, with on-the-ground observations and big picture insights about the stories which are defining America right now.

The podcast is hosted by trusted 大象传媒 journalists including the 大象传媒鈥檚 North America editor, Sarah Smith, 大象传媒 Radio 4 presenter, Justin Webb, the 大象传媒鈥檚 disinformation and social media correspondent, Marianna Spring, and 大象传媒 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 大象传媒鈥檚 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 大象传媒 Radio 4 and every weekend on the 大象传媒 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.
