This task gives you the opportunity to find out what is going on at the moment in American politics.

Sign up to at least one of the American politics podcasts below - I find this to be the easiest way to keep up to date with events in America:

• Global Player: The Newsagents USA - every Wednesday
• BBC: Americast - weekly (end of week)
• The Guardian Politics Weekly America - every weekend
• Simon Marks Reporting - every Friday
• The Rest is Politics: US - weekly
• The NPR Politics Podcast - daily

Listen to it/ them over the summer holidays - it will be a really good way to find out what happens in both parties' National Party Conventions.  Will Biden step down for a younger candidate to take his place?!  We'll be having A LOT  of discussions about the US election!
