  • Episode 4: Father's Day Special!
    Jun 21 2026

    Do you have suggestions or would just like to stop by and say hi? I would love to hear from you! :)

    This Father’s Day, America Is Great is celebrating the fathers, father figures, mentors, grandfathers, stepdads, and everyday heroes who help shape our lives.

    In this special episode, we reflect on the moments that make fatherhood memorable—from the unforgettable dad jokes and life lessons to the quiet ways fathers show up every day. We talk about the values that are often passed down through generations: hard work, resilience, kindness, integrity, and showing up for the people who matter.

    Fatherhood looks different for every family, and this episode recognizes the many people who step into that role and leave a lasting impact.

    Join us for a heartfelt and uplifting conversation celebrating the men who encourage us, teach us, support us, and remind us that some of life’s greatest lessons happen in everyday moments.

    In this episode:
    • Celebrating fathers and father figures
    • Dad wisdom that sticks with us
    • Funny and relatable Father’s Day moments
    • The impact of showing up and leading by example
    • Why strong communities begin at home

    Thank you for listening to America Is Great.

    If this episode made you think of someone special, share it with a father or father figure who has made a difference in your life.

    Happy Father’s Day! :)

    What happens when history finally reaches people?

    In this special Juneteenth episode of America Is Great, we travel to Galveston, Texas, to explore the powerful story behind June 19, 1865.

    Together, we reflect on resilience, celebration, and the traditions that grew from that historic moment into one of America’s most meaningful holidays.

    This episode explores the history of Juneteenth, the role of Galveston, the traditions that continue today, and the reminder that America’s story continues to grow through the people who shape it.

    Bring your favorite drink, imagine the celebrations, and join the conversation.
