We Need To Talk About Congressman George Santos

BBC Radio - Americast, We Need To Talk About Congressman George Santos

Lies, lies and more lies.

We chat to Republican and newspaper publisher Grant Lally who's known George Santos for years. Why were the concerns he raised about the freshman congressman ignored? 

And what's behind America’s long-term weight issues? Public health policy advocate, Rhea Farberman, talks obesity. 

Americast is presented by North America editor Sarah Smith, Today host Justin Webb, the BBC's social media and disinformation correspondent Marianna Spring, and North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher.
