Hello.
It's another big week in american politics because the Democrats are having their convention in Chicago, and this is where they sort of really, really properly unveil Kamala Harris as their candidate, although I say that she's been pretty well unveiled already.
So it's just another opportunity for them to promote her and a sort of bit of a challenge for her because she's got to deliver a huge, big keynote speech and show that she's up to the job.
And we'll be marking this week with loads and loads and loads of episodes of Americast.

But we're going to give you a little taster on this episode of Newscast.
