- Fawning
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

Australia2 months ago - I don’t care what Editor Katy Andrews thinks…
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?!🤷♀️

United States2 months ago - A well balanced look across the pond
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
Apple Podcasts5Gavin CaseyUnited Kingdom2 months ago - Interesting but no pushback
An often valid and useful podcast giving insight to US politics regardless of which side of the political spectrum you are from. Just don’t expect any pushback or tough questioning from Freddie, no matter how outlandish the statements from his guests.
As an update from my last review. It just gets more shameful. Kate Andrews shows a little backbone in questioning guests , but Freddie continues to be silent and pandering. It’s becoming too painful and frankly a waste of time to listen to. Get you... more
