The final of Planet America: Fireside Chat aired tonight. John Barron was doing the show remotely (i missed the beginning, so i don’t know why), and Chas was in the studio as normal.
At the end of the show, John said he was saddened to see The Drum finishing up after many years on air on the ABC.
They also mentioned that Fireside Chat would return on the 12th January 2024, with the Wednesday edition airing sometime in late January.

In this US election year, join comedian 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!
The race for the White House is on again – and it could look remarkably like the last one in 2020.
Joe Biden, America’s oldest president wants four more years, despite family scandals and sagging polls and Donald Trump, their former president wants to make a comeback but could be a convicted criminal by election day. They both face rivals from inside and outside their parties to get there – it’ll be an election year like no other.

Why though? Hopefully it will return in time to cover the democratic and republican conventions.
Will the Friday show still air?

Fairly late time slot for the return
Wednesday 10 April 10pm
The race to the 2024 Presidential Election is on. Chas and John are back to unpack the latest events as we look headed for a second Biden v Trump showdown in November.
Fireside Chat will have a field day tonight, with Trump being found guilty on some charges.
Curiously, is Wednesday and Friday episodes live, or are they recorded earlier, and “taped as live”?
