OT Contributor Network: Heard Tell Podcast American Culture & Politics From A UK POV

The latest Heard Tell podcast features OT Managing Editor Andrew Donaldson taking the 4th of July to talk to Englishman Ben Harris to get the UK POV of American culture and politics, from Up Yonder to Over Yonder. What’s America’s perception overseas really like right now, President Biden’s impression at the G7, how Black Lives Matter jumped the pond and into the UK’s politics, racism in sport, differences in US/UK government, and a breif defense of English food.

While celebrating American independence from England, it is the perfect time to turn down the news cycle noise and get the UK POV on the latest in American culture and politics from our friend Ben Harris who works in politics and parliament in London and shares his viewpoints from over yonder. We talk the differences in the US and UK systems of government, how President Biden is perceived abroad, how the Black Lives Matter movement jumped the channel, racism and protests in sport, differences in policing, BREXIT and the EU, a bit about soccer/football, defending British food, and that time Ben ordered a Philly cheesesteak without the cheese in Philly.
