Anthony Scaramucci Hosts 1 Million-Listener U.S. Politics Podcast for European Leaders

Summary
Anthony Scaramucci now fronts “The Rest Is Politics: US,” a podcast that can draw more than 1 million listeners per episode, many of them outside the United States.
European leaders are turning to the former Trump White House communications director to decode President Trump and the workings of U.S. politics, a role Scaramucci describes as part therapist and life coach.
In London, Scaramucci has been touring Parliament as a guest, taking selfies with fans and leaning into a public persona far removed from his 11-day White House tenure in 2017.
The rise underscores how a brief, chaotic stint in Trump’s first administration has evolved into an international media platform built on explaining America to foreign audiences.
