America Looks Abroad is a radio program focused on international affairs and the events shaping the world beyond the United States. Its title suggests a listening experience centered on examining foreign developments and their significance for American audiences.

The listed program is dated February 11, 1940, and carries the question “Is Europe Ready for Roosevelt.” That framing points to a discussion of Europe and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, inviting listeners to consider the relationship between American leadership and a continent facing major political change.

Rather than a fictional drama, this is a topical program for listeners interested in public affairs and international perspectives. Its appeal lies in hearing a period question posed directly, with the focus on how events abroad were understood at the time.
