Americast
4.7/5
Critic Rating
In a rare televised address from the Oval Office, Biden makes his first public comments on why he dropped out of the presidential race. He said he would level with the American people, and tell the truth, but did he answer the big question? Justin and Adam discuss what President Biden did, and didn’t say in his historic speech. They also discuss what this means for Biden’s future, and the speculation over whether he can continue as President.

"listeners can expect consistently high-profile interviews with government officials and top journalists. With another election approaching, Americast is essential listening for transatlantic analysis."

Patricia Nicol • The Times UK • Sep 25, 2022
"All episodes, so far, are rewarding listening."
Score: 4
James Marriot • The Times UK • Sep 23, 2022
"...the carousel of egos is well greased. Everyone gets to have their say and the 45-minute episodes are roomy enough for all of these competing voices to sound natural rather than the too-obvious result of backroom HR wrangling. Webb holds the whole thing together with self-deprecating charm. In fact the whole show has an atmosphere of unfakeable warmth and friendliness."
Score: 4.7
Miranda Sawyer • The Guardian • Sep 3, 2022
"The whole pace of Americast was far swifter than that of The News Agents, which I prefer: the setup clearer and the tone warm enough, though I could have done without the weather discussion...programmes are good and will almost certainly get better. Americast will motor on like the Rolls-Royce it is..."
