Considering how well the Wednesday episodes rated on the main ABC channel last year, it’s interesting that Planet America is going back to being a once a week show on Friday nights rather than continue with the twice weekly format

I didn’t realise there has been a Planet America podcast since last year.

Glad that the show is returning this Friday.
I hope there are still the usual interviews, and stats from Chas too. Its a great little hidden gem of a show.

Haha, i agree. As knowledgeable as he is on US Politics, he does need to take it easy with the cordial in some episodes. lol.

Each ‘Planet Extra’ podcast would probably go for a good few hours if he didn’t slow down!

Good to read that the show is returning next year (even if it is mid-year as the article suggests). It’s a great little show, and gives us an insight to US Politics.

I’ve always found it to be a great insight into American politics, especially when they break down the bigger issues.
Hopefully, Chas will continue to do some new PEPisodes over the extended break, even if it isn’t weekly.

Seems like its wasted in that slot. If it’s a special, they should trial it Monday 9:30 on the main channel. It could become a staple part of the Monday lineup.

It’s better airing on Friday nights so that it can wrap up the week in US politics.
