Mid Atlantic

Rated 5 stars on iTunes

I have a well-documented interest in American politics. I’m an avid listener of The Slate Political Gabfest, The Thomas Jefferson Hour and Morning Joe on MSNBC amongst other US political shows. I launched Mid-Atlantic to look at US and UK politics from the perspective of the other side of the pond.

This lively transatlantic series, presented by Roifield Brown, is less satirical than The Bugle (John Oliver’s and Andy Zaltzman’s much lauded US-UK podcast:), but ploughs the same rich “Special Relationship” furrow. Each episode features debate about culture and politics on both sides of the pond, with regular contributions from the Dublin-based journalist Mic Wright and US historian Rob Monaco.

Roifield is an excellent communicator, thinker and presenter who I work with on our show, Mid-Atlantic. I would recommend him to anyone.
