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.

On this day in 1814 Samuel Colt was born. [Photo above (L) is Josey Wales (Clint Eastwood) with two Colt Walker 1847 revolvers. Samuel Colt is on the right.]
