Hello and welcome back to the Americana Show. My name is Freddie Gray. I am the deputy editor of the

spectator and the US editor. And I'm pleased to tell you that this is the 10th year of the

Americano podcast. And I think it's fair to say it's been a fairly fascinating time in American politics, life and culture.

And that's what we talk about every episode on this podcast. So please keep listening and provide as much feedback as you like.

I am delighted, honoured even, to be joined by Tina Brown, the very famous and well-respected editor

of a number of famous magazines, Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, founded The Daily Beast, etc, etc,

and an old friend, I think we can say, of the spectator. So we're very delighted to have

Tina Brown joining us. And Tina,

I thought I would start by asking you about a piece that appeared on your substack,

Fresh Hell, which is also excellent, I should say, about the Washington Post, because this

has been one of the biggest media stories of the year so far. There's been a bit of a blood

bath at the Washington Post. And we republished in last week's magazine, we republished your

fresh hell post about this. Let's start with what has gone wrong with the Washington Post.

Well, it's great to be with you at The Spectator,

which I have long loved since my early days at Oxford,

and continue to read with great gusto.
