Is the criticism of Biden's Middle East policy fair?
Freddy speaks to the diplomat and author Dennis B Ross, who worked under presidents George H W Bush and Bill Clinton. He was a special advisor on the Persian Gulf.

And what comes next?

Is the special relationship still special?

And how could this impact the 2024 election?
Produced by Natasha Feroze and Patrick Gibbons.

Something needs to be changed
I listen to the spectator range of podcasts to keep up a diverse podcast diet. This is probably the poorest of the spectators podcast offering. Either the editorial team don’t have a clear idea how the podcast should be formatted to reach their goals. Or their host doesn’t know how to form informative and penetrating discussions with guests but keeping civil.
Someone from the UK you would expect a better discussion on US politics on our behalf from the Spectator. It is more promotion of a point of view, rather than a exploration, explanation or examination.
But sadly it does follow the worse insults that people throw at the Spectator that it is just a clearance house for any right wing thought. It is rather embarrassing from a long lived institution that it has such a shallow level of discussion, and a host that just wants to be liked.
