“Thank you Freddy and Angus Hanton and William Clouston. That was the most marvellous masterclass on the trials and tribulations of British business and the failure of successive governments to invest in their growth and welfare or protect them from American predators.
If you haven’t covered it...”Read full review »

“The best of the Spectator podcasts, Americano is a tour de force. Freddy’s light handed and intelligent touch works beautifully in getting the most out of his guests. Having read Alan Dershowitz’s “Get Trump” it was a pleasure to hear him on the podcast, especially given his prowess in US legal...”Read full review »

“I’ve heard Alan Dershowitz before and love that he points out Republican hypocrisy as well as Democrats . It’s a sad state of affairs when unbiased commentators are a difficult find in America .”

“Virtually all Spectator podcasters have earned my respect and even affection. Even knowing or guessing their personal political preferences, I still find them thorough, professional and balanced. Their delivery is exemplary.
Unfortunately I can’t say the same of Freddy Gray.
With the exception...”Read full review »

“Excellent and nicely delivered content by Freddie Gray. No ego, no showboating. Bright, articulate, engaging, has been my preferred source of US political commentary for many years.”

“Giving airtime to such an awful point of view is boring. Interviewer and interviewee both shockingly Putin apologists. Spectators base readers insulted again!”

“Freddy grey has the miot erudite, interesting and thought-provoking guests anywhere in the podcast universe. Often learned, their research and input to the debate should be heard so much more widely and in fact shows up mainstream current affaires coverage to be so poor it is desperately depressing.”

“Just listened to an episode which was totally rubbish, one sided, inaccurate, selective and biased in every way. Saying that the whole American Judicial system is out to get Trump? Of course it’s nothing to do with Trump breaking the law??? He has been found GUILTY in 2 cases already.
To say one...”Read full review »

Victor Davis Hanson, any of the guys from the Ruthless podcast. Love Freddy’s approach to interviews, balanced and insightful.”

“A very interesting podcast covering American politics. I find it fascinating and informative. I lived there for 3 years as a boy and worked closely with American clients for 30 years. There are a wide variety of guests and all sorts of interesting things crop up.”

“With a revolving cast of interesting guests, Freddy Gray does not take centre stage but instead lets his guests do the talking. You are unlikely to agree with everything you hear, but that is the point. Right?”

“Twice a week just feels like too much, even in the run-up to an election. Their also competing now with FT who now have a Saturday round-up which is much more succinct. As much as I love listening to Freddie, I’m finding that the content is getting repetitive with the same themes covered and the...”Read full review »

“The ‘Americano’ Podcast (from the always well-informed and well-guested Spectator team) is Generous, Kind, and Warm-Hearted. Thankfully - for this Grumpy, Critical, invariably Cold-Hearted Brit - it is also Insightful, Incisive, Interesting, and Informative. An unequivocal 5-Star recommendation...”Read full review »

“Freddy Gray brings in some of the smartest individuals to interview. While right leaning, this podcast is never shrill nor pedantic.
If you want clear cut thinking that cuts through the pervasive woke ideology crippling the US, look no further.”
