In Our Time · The Global Story - The soft power superpower, with Roman Mars · 3 Jul 2026 podcast

Most Americans know that their country has profoundly shaped the world that we all live in. voice-verified

They liberated most of Europe in World War II. voice-verified

They invented things like the electric pencil sharpener, the atom bomb, the internet, the personal computer, breakfast cereal. voice-verified

So we're stepping back from the news to dedicate a whole week of episodes to the surprising tales of American influence on the world stage and in ordinary people's lives across the globe. voice-verified

And today, with the help of the podcaster Roman Mars, we tell the story of the United States as an innovator and how being inventive isn't just about creating things. voice-verified

From the BBC, I'm Asma Khalid in Washington, D.C. voice-verified

And I'm Tristan Redman in London. voice-verified

And today on The Global Story, how America used soft power to build a hidden empire. voice-verified

Asma, as we celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States, I want to start with a big question for you. voice-verified

What does the United States mean to Asma Khalid? voice-verified

I hear you, Asma. voice-verified

And as you know, but maybe some of our listeners don't, I am actually American in spite of my accent, which makes me sound very British. voice-verified

I was born in Detroit and I've lived a lot of my life outside of the US, but I'm enormously proud of my American nationality and my American identity. voice-verified

But... voice-verified

It's also difficult to be an American in the world. voice-verified

People have questions about the United States in all sorts of ways. voice-verified

And when you're an American in the world, you feel like some of those questions are being aimed at you. voice-verified

So it's complicated. voice-verified

Well, Asma, this podcast is not all about us. voice-verified

We've got some fascinating stories lined up for our listeners this week. voice-verified
