This Thursday, the 27th of March, we are hosting our Spring Statement Coffee House Shots Live.

Shots regulars, Michael Gove and Katie Balls, will be joined by very special guests, Lord David Frost and Lord Maurice Glassman, just hours after the spring statement, or emergency budget, is announced.

They will be delving deeper into the measures and how they will reverberate throughout the political landscape.

And this will be taking place at 7.30 at London's Cadogan Hall.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Hello and welcome to the Americano podcast, a series of discussions about American politics, power and prejudices.

It is 2025 and Donald Trump is president once again of the United States.

We will, of course, be following the moves of the Donald and his second administration very closely.

However, it won't just be politics for us this year.

We'll also talk a lot and cover American culture, life and the arts.

I should also remind you, because my producer, Natasha Natasha will not let me hear the end of it,

that we are on Spectator TV.

So head to our YouTube channel to watch that.

I am delighted to be joined here at the Spectator's Washington office by our US Deputy deputy editor, Kate Andrews, who is now

living in Washington, Kate.

I thought the point of this podcast should be to ask you how you're coping with the

news madness that is Donald Trump.

It's very exhausting.

How are we all really coping with it? I feel like in some ways it's

it's at least good to like be in the heart of it to just hear about it overseas. Must be actually more stressful for you.
