"As we put together the show we always envision it being listened to by a family just starting their day." Says Kevin Prout, Co-Producer. With the exception of an interview on a serious subject,. "American Native" strives to be an entertaining, informative and inspiring hour. Even so, its important to us that our end product be a show the whole family can enjoy together." In a world of “Shock Jocks” and “Contentious Radio Talk Shows” that apparently is what makes “American Native” unique.
