Enduring America on The Instant Guide: The US Presidency

Technical problems delayed the posting of this programme, but still wanted to mention BBC World Service's Instant Guide, which offered a history of the US Presidency in preparation for the Obama Inauguration. It was a pleasure to contribute to the programme, especially in light of the history that was about to be made in Washington.

The link will be live until Saturday night.

The Day After the Inauguration: Scott Lucas on the BBC World Service and Ireland's Newstalk

This morning I chatted with the BBC World Service's World Update about the Obama Inaugural, ranging across topics from Obama's style to relations with the Muslim world to the economic and foreign policy challenges.

Thanks also to Dublin Newstalk's Right Hook, where I just had an excellent conversation with regular host George Hook, speaking from Washington, and studio host Ivan Yates about the prospects for an Obama Administration.
