Five days a week. Five minutes at a time.
Broadcast-ready American storytelling for radio stations—and stories worth carrying home.
Launching September 7, 2026.
A small town. A wide country. Five minutes at a time.
Five Minutes in America is a weekday radio storytelling feature hosted by Tony Michaels. Each episode begins with an ordinary person, place, object, or memory—and follows the story toward something lasting about character, citizenship, dignity, liberty, work, and neighborliness.
Some stories live in Coffman’s Landing, a fictional Missouri lake town filled with front porches, bait shops, workshops, courthouse squares, and people still learning how to live beside one another. Other stories travel wherever an American life has something worth passing along.

Stories—not shouting.
Five Minutes in America does not begin with a political team or a cable-news conflict. It begins with a fence, a front porch, a rainstorm, a workshop, a bait shop, or a kitchen table.
Old-school storytelling, working-class perspective, American memory, and constitutional principles come together in a program listeners can understand, remember, and talk about.
Launching September 7, 2026.
The first week introduces listeners to Coffman’s Landing and the people whose stories will carry the program forward.
