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

Asma, you've been looking at the American dream and whether it's still attainable. voice-verified

And you, our listeners, you've been sending us your questions and stories about what's next for America and its role in the world. voice-verified

And we'll be putting them to some of the BBC's top foreign correspondents, like our international editor, Jeremy Bowen. voice-verified

Please keep your questions and stories coming on our email, which is theglobalstoryatbbc.com. voice-verified

But today, Asma, we are going to be looking at the question of US soft power. voice-verified

What do you think about when you think about American soft power, Asma? voice-verified

Well, we didn't want to focus on the big things in American history. voice-verified

We want to focus on something small and surprising that tells us about the bigger picture. voice-verified

And no one does that better than Roman Mars. voice-verified

He's made a career of that on the hit podcast 99% Invisible, which is a show about design and all the little facets of life that we rarely think about. voice-verified

that make the world work. voice-verified

And there's a story I found out about when making this episode that is just one of those stories. voice-verified

It's not glamorous, it's not obvious, but it really did literally shape the world in America's image. voice-verified

Because sometimes what makes you powerful might be absolutely tiny. voice-verified

Fantastic. voice-verified

I feel like I need to lean into my mic a little bit more. voice-verified

Otherwise, Roman is going to tell me I'm an amateur. voice-verified

Oh, it's not that. voice-verified

This is like what I like. voice-verified

Roman joined us in our London studio and he was in town working on his new BBC series, A History of the United States in 100 Objects. voice-verified
