Roman Mars has launched a new historical deep-dive series, A History of the United States in 100 Objects, a massive collaborative project between BBC Studios, SiriusXM, and his own production house, 99% Invisible.
The industry reaction is focused on his enduring influence as a storyteller. On a recent episode of 99% Invisible, Sean Cole highlighted the specific craft that Mars brings to every production, noting, "You see, this is why we love to have you do stuff for this show. This was so great, Sean. Thank you."
Beyond his new series, Roman Mars is doubling down on his vision for the medium. During a guest appearance on Twenty Thousand Hertz this week, he outlined a future for independent podcasting that prioritizes editorial rigor over algorithmic growth. He is set to carry this message to The Podcast Show in London, where he will sit down with Fiona Sturges for a career retrospective titled 'A Life in Sound.'
