Introducing After America

Introducing After America, a new Australia Institute podcast hosted by Dr Emma Shortis.
Can Biden recover from a disastrous debate performance? What does the release of Julian Assange reveal about the Australia-US relationship? And is Trump’s authoritarian behaviour really an outlier in American political history?
On the first episode of After America, Dr Emma Shortis reflects on the first presidential debate performance and the release of Julian Assange, before former BBC United States correspondent Nick Bryant joins the show to discuss the country’s long history of authoritarianism.
You can subscribe to After America on Apple Podcasts (podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast...) , Spotify (open.spotify.com/show/788c8ne...) or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'll listen, but I hope it has teeth. So much of your America coverage is toothless. Take notes from Abby Martin of Empire Files. Use your privilege.
