The News Agents – USA

Maitlis and Sopel's USA political spin-off

News Agents USA – Before the hugely successful News Agents Podcast, Emily Maitlis and Jon Sopel hosted Americast, which explored US political news with the same mix of breezy conversation and insightful analysis. 

Even though The News Agents podcast still dabbles in US politics whenever there’s a big story, they have now launched a new spin-off podcast that will solely focus on US stories, which is helpful as we head towards a divisive US election period. It will be available to listen first on Global Player on Tuesday evening and then available on your usual podcast provider on Wednesday.
