Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.

Customer Reviews
Wonderful uplifting stories
I love all the little bits of history woven into the stories. This is a podcast that any member of the family can listen to. I’m always grateful to find good, clean entertainment!
Really?!
I’ve listened to this show on and off. It has something worth listening to, and some not so much. Funny enough, if I skip ahead to the end and hear what producer did the piece, I can usually tell whether it will be good or not. This latest (as of this review) piece on “Were the Irish the 1st Slaves in America?”… WOW! The pair on whoever greenlit this one… I can guess where this producer lies politcally, but I’d also hope someone would have maybe listened to this one ahead of time and maybe think it was territory worth treading? What an unnecessary piece of drivel.
Good but full of commercials
Interesting (listened to my first episode), but in an 18 min episode heard 3 rounds of ads several min long each. Sorry I’m outta here.
