AMERICAN VOICES
Bill Bradley hosts an award-winning weekly radio show on SiriusXM. American Voices celebrates the goodness of the American people – from a mother who built an organization supporting hundreds of young dancers of color, to a man who reunites homeless people with their families, to a father-daughter team that delivers trailer homes to wildfire survivors. Together, their stories help restore our faith in humanity.
“For decades, I’ve traveled across America, listening to the inspiring stories that people tell about their lives. I created American Voices to share those stories, and to encourage us all to listen to one another and celebrate the human spirit," Bradley says.
Other guests have included singers like Bonnie Raitt and Rosanne Cash, athletes like boxer George Foreman, and public servants including former Fed Chair Paul Volcker and former Secretary of State George Schultz. The show also interviews people who have interesting jobs – like a sugar artist, a python hunter, an MLB groundskeeper, and a 103-year-old lobsterwoman. And at the end of each episode, artists and authors discuss their favorite places in America. Past contributors include Michael Douglas, Judi Dench, Amy Tan, and Maureen Dowd.
