“Always enjoy British view of America and Freddy Grey is clearly a fan but one with a critical eye. He’s an excellent interviewer.
Having an American host, especially one who’s long, leading questions constrain discussion, is less interesting.”

“Easily the best bite-sized commentary on the US presidential election year. It was very good on America before 2024, but has leaped to a higher level commensurate with the exciting melodramatics of the Trump-Biden struggle. Targets well informed guests unfailingly, & the host gets the best...”Read full review »

“I would fire him and Katy should have challenged him on his outrageous comment that Gaza is being flattened and there’s a massacre. What was he addressing? It didn’t sound like a comment on the massacre of Israelis by Hams on 7 October 2023.”

“The audio levels in the podcast are quite low and uneven, which makes it hard to follow. It would be great if you could consider working with a professional audio producer to enhance the overall listening experience..”

“I enjoy this podcast more than I used to, partly because the competing News Agents and Americast are so one-sidedly left-wing. Freddy brings a welcome objectivity to American politics. But indeed, as another reviewer has said, it’s “noo-klier” NOT “NU-kyu-ler”. Kinda shocking that.”

“Despite being the most right-leaning of the Spectator’s (brilliant) podcast presenters, Freddie will often invite along brilliant, compelling guests who have opposing points of view whom he interviews intelligently and respectfully. The resulting conversations are fascinating. Today, however, he...”Read full review »

“Lots of analysis of Harris & Walz, little of Trump & Vance in comparison.
The recent Harris interview dissected, as it should be. Did Walz lie about his military service? A valid question.
We don’t seem have any discussion of Trump interviews, policy gaps & potential lies.
Seems...”Read full review »

“As a dual UK/US citizen, I appreciate Freddy Gray’s deep knowledge of US politics (both historical and current day) as well as his very measured and slightly sardonic British tone. Love hearing a non-hysterical political analysis in calm, dulcet tones.”

“Unchallenged “people supporting Palestine are shallow
”. Have a balance, challenge insane guests. Happy to hear a rational opposition argument but killing >10k kids is a bad thing. I listen for the rational guests whichever side they are on but the crazies are becoming too frequent.”

“Freddy Gray runs an eclectic eye over contemporary ideas bubbling up from the American cauldron. Freddy teases out the thoughts of intellectual Americans to provide non-Americans some sense of what is going on in America. Thank you Freddy, two times a week is not enough”

Freddy Gray has a wonderful interview style. He gives his guests the room to speak while asking intelligent, gently probing questions.
