"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..."
