America turns 250 this year. But do Americans plan to celebrate it, or are divisions in the country putting people off the joyous occasion?
In this episode of Over Here, Over There, Claudia (DE, Germany) and Dan (American, living in the UK) get personal about the United States' Semiquincentennial — and ask the questions most people are afraid to say out loud. They explore the significance of the anniversary, American patriotism, historical milestones, cultural celebrations, and the future of American ideals from a transatlantic perspective.
Key questions:
Will Dan and other Americans be celebrating the 250th?
When did Dan last truly celebrate July 4th?
What do Indigenous Americans think of this milestone?
How does the UK see its former colony at 250?
And what would it actually take to feel proud to be American right now?
Insider and outsider perspectives. One very complicated birthday.
🎧 Over Here, Over There is a podcast about transatlantic life, culture, and politics — hosted by a German journalist and an American commentator living in Britain.
