SoftPower/FulStories is a human-centered storytelling podcast about the importance of having friends in the world--even nation to nation. Storytellers include a diverse array of high-level soft power practitioners with decades of experience in foreign affairs and assistance. Hosted by former U.S. diplomat Christopher Wurst, each episode gives listeners intimate, surprising, and often untold stories from around the globe--where Peace Corps volunteers, USAID professionals, NGO workers, diplomats, and locals create change together. Sometimes on a national level, always in individual ways. Listeners will learn about events and actions in far-flung places, but when they have forgotten the facts, the stories will remain with them.
