Hi In Our Time listeners, Misha Glenny here.
I wanted to share a great episode from The Global Story, the BBC's daily international news podcast.
This week they're publishing a special collection around the 250th anniversary of the United States, exploring America's relationship with the world.
In this episode, Asma and Tristan speak with Roman Mars from 99% Invisible and the new host of the History of the United States in 100 Objects to talk about soft power.
How America's drive to standardise something as small as the screw meant the US now decides how the world is built.
If you want to listen to more episodes from this landmark series, find it on The Global Story.
And if you're in the UK, listen on BBC Sounds.
If you're outside the UK, find it on bbc.com or wherever you get your podcasts.
This is In Our Time from BBC Radio 4, and this is one of more than a thousand episodes you can find in the In Our Time archive.
A reading list for this edition can be found in the episode description wherever you're listening.
I hope you enjoy the programme.
Hello.
We might take them for granted in parks, in our streets and in forests.
Yet trees play a crucial role in regulating our climate and providing the air we breathe.
We build with them, rely on them for food and shelter, use them for paper, clothing, medicine and energy.
But trees aren't simply a backdrop to human life.
They're the product of a deep evolutionary history that transformed our planet.
