It’s time for the 2025 Americast Awards… There’s no doubt that it’s been a tumultuous year in US politics. From a dramatic disagreement between President Trump and Ukraine’s President Zelensky in the Oval Office, the deployment of the National Guard to cities across America, self-described democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani becoming the Mayor of New York, to Trump announcing his plan to turn Gaza into the ‘Riviera of the Middle East’. Justin, Sarah and Marianna pitch the moments which they think caused the biggest ripples in America this year to Matt Chorley. And we hear some of your picks too.

  • Hello, it's Justin here with a question for you.

  • What do you want us to talk about when we're predicting what's going to happen in 2026?

  • In other words, do you want to hear more about the Democrats and what's likely to go on with them?

  • Do you want to hear whether Mamdani is likely to be successful or not successful in New York?

  • Do you want to hear about Trump's state of mind?

  • Give us as well your suggestions about what you think is going to happen,

  • because what the heck, they might be as good as ours.

  • Indeed, they might be an awful lot better.

  • So let's mix them all up together.

  • And we look forward to hearing from you.

  • OK, so to get in touch with us, it is the WhatsApp 443301239480 or email americastatbbc.co.uk.

  • The hashtag is America's and for Discord, the link is in the description.

  • OK, let's get on with the episode.

  • Hello, it's Sarah here.

  • I'm very happy to say I'm in the studio in real life with Justin and Marianna,

  • not in the worldwide headquarters, but in our Westminster studio,

  • because it's Monday,

  • and that's the day we join Matt Charlie on Five Live to answer your questions on Americancers.

  • Well, this episode's a little bit different.

  • Instead of answers, we're handing out awards.
