In this US election year, join The Chaser’s Chas Licciardello and the ABC’s John Barron as they set out to discover the real America — its politics and its people — with US and Australian experts coming along for the ride!
Now twice a week, Chas and John will bring you the latest American politics, including updates on the impeachment probe. Plus, will Warren or Sanders outflank frontrunner Biden on the left? Or will Buttigieg or Klobuchar come through the middle to win the Democratic nomination in 2020?
Wednesdays at 10:00pm on ABC TV, plus Fridays at 8:00pm AEDT on ABC NEWS Channel, and anytime on iview.
This hidden gem is now going to get more exposure, with its Wednesday show. Even if it is at 10pm. Probably continues on the usual “Australian Wednesday line-up” the ABC has been airing for some years now.
I wonder if it will be the same (or similar) format to the current Friday shows?

Planet America: USA Votes Special
After an unpredictable campaign, Americans have finally cast their ballot and had the say in one of the most keenly watched US Elections ever. John Barron and Chas Licciardello present a special two hour election special.
This is a good show. The only downside is when Chas shouts - which is everytime he opens his mouth. He needs to calm down a bit and not be over excited.
I was about to ask the same question. Chas and John deserve a break after a long year, but so much can happen between next week and Inauguration Day on January 20.
