"You Are The Guest", is a weekly show where everyday people can "be the guest" and tell listeners what their friends and neighbors think about news events and issues of the day. It�s part talk show, part opinion poll, part reality show. It is completely dependent upon the listeners participation as a guest. To be a guest is easy. Listeners just need to go to www.youaretheguest.com and submit their first name, the town where they live, and a short description on why they would make a good guest. There is no charge for being a guest, and participants will have the opportunity to share their opinions on current events and issues of the day and how it effects their everyday life. And we have some fun too, with "Celebrity Square Root" and "Ask Bill 3", where we turn the tables and let the guest ask the host any 3 questions they want.
