Americast Folgen

Why Do You Hate Me? USA x The Coming Storm x Americast. A special episode on how social media, and conspiracy theories, are directly impacting the U.S. election in a new way. Who are the Americans sharing their theories online, and what is the real world impact on the election and those people affected by it? Marianna shares insights with Justin from her reporting in the United States for her new BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds podcast Why Do You Hate Me USA, where she hears the views of two women from different backgrounds who believe Trump’s assassination was staged. She also investigates the impact on election workers who are having to work underground. Also joining today’s conversation is Gabriel Gatehouse, presenter of the Coming Storm podcast, which looks at why millions of Americans are convinced their democracy has been hijacked by a sinister Deep State cabal. How did this happen, and what might happen after this November's election regardless of which candidate wins?Why Do You Hate Me USA: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/p0jmlph9 The Coming Storm: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m001324rHOSTS: • Justin Webb, Radio 4 presenter • Marianna Spring, BBC’s Disinformation and Social Media CorrespondentGUEST: Gabriel Gatehouse, presenter of “The Coming Storm” podcast on Radio 4 and BBC SoundsGET IN TOUCH: • Join our online community: https://discord.gg/qSrxqNcmRB • Send us a message or voice note via WhatsApp to +44 330 123 9480 • Email Americast@bbc.co.uk • Or use #Americast This episode was made by Rufus Gray and Purvee Pattni.
