"Celebrating America at 250? Not Me." — An Honest Conversation About the U.S. Anniversary

America turns 250 this year. But is there actually anything to celebrate? In this episode of Over Here, Over There, Claudia (🇩🇪 Germany) and Dan (🇺🇸 living in 🇬🇧 the UK) get personal about the United States' Semiquincentennial — and ask the questions most people are afraid to say out loud. When did Dan last truly celebrate July 4th — and why did he stop? 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? Two 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 living in Britain. — TIMESTAMPS — 00:00 Happy Birthday, America? 01:45 Dan's last real July 4th 05:00 What does 250 actually mean? 08:30 Indigenous voices & uncomfortable truths 11:00 How the UK & Germany see America right now 14:30 What would make you proud again? 🔔 Subscribe so you never miss an episode. 📩 Find us on Instagram, Spotify & Apple Podcasts — links in our channel page. #OverHereOverThere #America250 #July4th
