It was incredible to witness a journalist give lunatic Lee Cohen space to wang on about free speech in the UK (and yes, there are big problems that need addressing here) without once challenging him on the much more frightening free speech clampdowns in USA (press, universities, museums, libraries etc). FG is good at a occasionally getting people on who he clearly doesn’t agree with (and challenging them), but this podcast, could be so much more interesting if he was less of a fawning drip in th... more
Freddy - I demand that Americano be used to reprise your and Blowers Ashes coverage for 2025-26.
Make it happen sir!
Lionel Shriver is always interesting. But I did not appreciate Editor Andrew’s inserting her own opinions. I don’t find her to be either insightful or deep. Her opinions do not matter to anyone or shouldn’t. Americano should strive to report more professionally. You are trying to do journalism, no?!🤷♀️
Americano is my go to for insight and commentary on American politics. It’s the only podcast where you can reliably expect balanced argument and a neutral perspective. Absolutely first class
