The British right is up for grabs. As May's local elections approach, the Conservatives face strong competition from Reform UK.

Join the Spectator's assistant editor, Isabel Hardman, for the spectator debate, the fight for the right, on Wednesday, the 29th of April in London.

We will pit the Conservatives represented by Matthew Saeed and Dominic Johnson against Reform UK, represented by

Matt Goodwin and Danny Kruger. To see which party truly represents the future of the right,

Hello and welcome back to the Americano 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.

Today I am delighted to be joined by Stephen Crowder, who is the host of

Louder with Crowder and a longstanding and very popular show host and podcaster. Do you call

yourself a podcaster? No. And the reason that I don't is not there anything wrong with it. But, you know, if someone

It's a, it's a little bit. It's kind of the only show that I would say is, it's much more

comparable to, to television, where, you know, podcast is kind of more radio on a webcam.

Well, I wanted to start by asking you about podcasts.
