Our American Stories

Lee Habeeb is the host and founder of Our American Stories, a storytelling radio show and podcast featuring stories that represent the best of America: history, sports, music, free enterprise, charity, faith, family and more. It can be heard 5 days a week, two hours a night, on over 140 affiliates across the country. Archives of the show are available for free on Apple Podcasts.

Habeeb was named the Power Player of the Week in March, 2018 for his team's efforts with Our American Stories by All Access, the leading radio trade publication. He had this to say about why the show was enjoying such success:

“America is an exceptional country; no other country is quite like it. But you’d never know it watching the daily news. People on talk radio and cable news are piping mad and fighting like crazy, but most Americans - black and white, left and right, old and young, gay and straight - are sitting next to each other in the cafeteria and getting along. Carrying along in families and businesses and churches. Carrying along and intermarrying and working and praying together in beautiful ways. I wanted to create a place on the radio to hear the good stories no one tells. Stories about who and what makes our country great. Stories about our past and present. Stories about our innovators, artists, writers, and business and faith leaders, too. And the men and women in uniform who protect us. We wanted to create a space for listeners to just relax and feel good about the world. And learn a few things too. We aim to tell the story of America to Americans, two hours a night, every night. No opinions. No arguing or debate. And no politics. Just stories of generosity and kindness, love and redemption, risk-taking and loss, courage and honor. Stories for the heart and soul, and not just the head. In the end, Our American Stories is a show about the American character. The America we all know and love. It’s needed now more than ever.”[5]
