In a time when so much of America feels divided, The American Neighbor Project takes a different path, one simple way to bring people together: real conversation, and real stories the news outlets haven’t sensationalized or edited to fit a narrative intended to divide us.

Today’s technology and media are designed to amplify outrage, but research shows that most of us are far more alike than the headlines suggest. We share values, struggles, hopes, and experiences that rarely make it into our feeds.

This podcast is built on a simple belief: when we hear each other’s stories, we reconnect with the humanity we already share. Inspired by the biblical call to be peacemakers, this show lifts up everyday Americans, people with no fame, no spotlight, just extraordinary lives hidden in plain sight.

Each episode is an unscripted, long-form conversation that taps into the power of stories people love to hear because they offer connection, meaning, and a window into experiences beyond their own. Stories help us make sense of the world, evoke emotion, and remind us that we’re not alone in our hopes, struggles, and dreams.  Stories don’t just inform us they change us.

If you’re tired of the noise, the outrage, and the algorithms, listen in.
You’ll meet ordinary neighbors with extraordinary stories and rediscover just how connected we really are. You may have just found your new favorite podcast…
