As a UK podcast covering US news, it’s always nice when UK and US headlines collide. Such is the case this week, as King Charles and Camilla visit Washington for an State Visit, and the first since 2007.

So this week on In the Making, we discuss the significance of a state visit, or if it’s all just smoke and mirrors. Meanwhile, as Keir Starmer will be desperately hoping the King can restore the special relationship, he’s a little preoccupied trying to keep his job.

The Mandelson scandal is the gift that keeps on giving, and our Prime Minister will no doubt be dwelling on the bitter irony that he might be forced out because of the Epstein files in which he is absent, while the US President - who is mentioned 38,000 times - has remained relatively unscathed… at least for now.

Plus, we discuss the Sperm Racing World Cup, which is open for applications, and round two of Trump versus Jimmy Kimmel, following his joke about Melania (which is actually a joke about Trump’s age).

To discuss this and other headlines from the US, my guest co-host this week is Nish Kumar (heard above), a comedian and presenter, best known for co-hosting Pod Save the UK and he is just back from a tour of the US.

Listen to the full episode right now on Apple, Spotify and all good hosting platforms.

God and Jesus are mentioned a combined total of 5,500 times in the Bible. So Trump's 38,000 Epstein mentions is worth seeing in context

Men, You've Been Misinformed

Men's skin is about 25% thicker than women's, but thicker skin doesn't mean better aging. It means delayed collapse. For years, your skin looks resilient. Then collagen declines, and when it does, it drops hard: deeper wrinkles, heavier under-eye bags, more dark spots showing up all at once.

Most men were never taught to get ahead of this. Women were. And by the time the signs show up, you're playing catch-up.

Particle Face Cream was built precisely for this. One 6-in-1 formula engineered for men's skin — reduces eye bags, dark spots, and wrinkles, restores firmness, hydrates deeply, and revives dull tone. No complicated routine. Over 1,000,000 men already use it. Try it risk-free with a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The British Association for American Studies was founded in 1955. It exists to promote, support and encourage the study of the United States in the Universities, Colleges and Schools of the United Kingdom, and by independent scholars.

The association has a broad membership and encourages those from all those engaged in or connected with the study of the United States, to join and support the association’s work.
