Listener Reviews 
From iTunes

"Excellent format with great balance of guest and speaker.  Enjoy the diversity and intellect of this fine program.  Excellent content." 
"Bill has a good mix of humor and sincerity, which provides for a very entertaining and educational show." 

"I get the chance to be on everything from CNN and Fox News Channel to smaller radio and TV shows around the USA and abroad.  It often shocks me to see how IDIOTIC some hosts in highly paid positions are.  So, it always is a pleasure to have a long, animated, even 'heated' discussion with the host and not want to 'Kill Bill'." 
"It's not the usual talking head, Q & A show, it's a compelling conversation that will hold your interest from the beginning through the 'Ask Bill 3' at the end.  It's always very interesting and CAN be inadvertently comical." 
"Bill is the man to listen to when you want to learn all about interviewing.  He can be brutal at times, but always brings out the truth." 
"A podcast original.  The host is a true gentleman, who, while not necessarily agreeing with his guest's point of view, provides a fair and honest forum in which opinions and ideas are freely expressed, something that is sorely lacking in otherwise 'professional' talk shows as of late.  Truly a must listen."

Guest: 2006 Year in Review with Vern Beachy from Carroll, Iowa 

It's time for the 2006 Year in Review and it's always a pleasure to talk about the news, issues, and people from  this past year with Vern Beachy.  We talk about the usual topics like biggest news story of the year, Person of the Year, biggest taxpayer rip-off, and the biggest consumer rip-off, but we also talk about the biggest surprise of the year, the small story that needed more attention, and the biggest "who cares" news stories for 2006.  Vern and I also hand out the 2006 Hosebag of the Year Award.  Vern asks me what I've learned from my interviews this past year, what was my worst interview of the year, and which was my favorite interview of the year.

Guest: Harrine Freeman from Washington, D.C. 

Author Harrine Freeman from Washington D.C. is our guest to talk about an important holiday topic, the credit card business.  Harrine and I discuss why the credit card companies target undergraduate students and individuals who will most likely not pay their bills on time.  We talk about the root and the size of the problem in the U.S. and I dig into how credit card companies market and prey upon those individuals that are most vulnerable to interest fees and late charges, and you'll hear a credit horror story of how someone became $1,000,000 in debt.  We also discuss why the educational system in this country isn't doing enough to teach young people how to manage their finances, and what pitfalls some consumers fall into during the holiday season.

Guest: Adam Reuter and The 6 Degrees from Truth - Michael Moore

Filmmaker Adam Reuter from Baltimore, Maryland joins us to talk about his latest DVD, "The 6 Degrees from Truth:  Michael Moore".  I ask Adam if Michael Moore is still a working class guy, and if his films are more personal essays than documentaries. We dig into the inconsistencies in two of Michael Moore's films, Bowling For Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11, and I play devil's advocate with Michael Moore's creative license on both of these films.  Adam and I also talk about the Teacher's Guide for Fahrenheit 9/11 and how a far left liberal view is being presented in some classrooms across America.  Adam asks me what was my most embarrassing teenage moment, if I had the choice what time period would I like to live in, and what was my favorite Christmas gift as a child.

Guest:  Imran Anwar and North Korea, Osama, & Iraq

We've asked Imran Anwar back from his busy schedule of appearances on CNN and Fox News Channel to talk about what is going on right now in North Korea, Iran, and Iraq.  First and foremost we talk about North Korea and  the country's intent on testing a nuclear weapon.  We discuss whether Osama Bin Laden is still alive or not, why the Muslim world has given Osama Bin Laden a free pass, and we take the gloves off over issues including whether President Bush is a religious zealot or not, the comparison between President Bush and Ronald Reagan, and what was the role that Congress played in starting the War on Terror.  I also ask if there has ever been a time when the Arab world hasn't hated the United States.  Imran asks me what I think the solution to Iraq is, will my solution make Iraq a larger breeding ground for terrorists, and is it a matter of time before members of Hezbollah attack the United States because of our support of Israel.

Guest:  Malcolm From Singapore

Here's an encore presentation of our rare interview with an enlisted man in the Singapore military by the name of Malcolm.  It's rare because the Singapore Government can sue a citizen for speaking out against them (as explained in this interview) and for that reason many do not share their opinions openly, especially with outside media.  But in our interview, Malcolm shares his views on the Singapore Government, gives his opinions on the execution of an Australian citizen, and explains how and why the Singapore Government controls the media.  Malcolm asks me about Black Friday shopping, about the military draft in the United States, how are U.S. relations with Mexico and Canada, and if Americans see themselves as the "gangsters of the world".

Guest:  Eddie from Dublin, Ireland and the 9/11 Truth Movement

Eddie is a 28 year-old native of  Dublin and hosts his own vidcast named TedPod.  Eddie describes what Dublin is like, and some tips for people who visit Ireland.  But the bulk of our conversation centers around Eddie's examination of the 9/11 truth movement and his theories as to who conducted the attacks on the World Trade Center, how they did it, and what their motive was.  Eddie talks about the face-less elite, puppet governments, remote control commercial airliners, passengers being gassed, phone calls from the planes being electronically recreated, and the conspiracy that would be conducted by the mass media if someone came forward with information on this plot. Eddie asks me if I believe the attacks on the World Trade Center was an inside job, where do I see the world 10 years from now, and does money make you happier.  

By the way, you can hear me pounding my head on the desk at the 41:45 mark.

Charley and Carol also have a special message for Americans and to our listeners around the world.  Charley and Carol ask me what is my favorite rock group of all-time, what daytime talk show host I would like to interview, and who I thought did the best news interviews.

By the way, count how many times the word "nutjob" is used in the show.

It's time to review the news so far in 2006, and Vern Beachy is just the guy to do it.  What makes our prospective different from what you would see on TV is that all these opinions come from what we hear from the average person as being important, instead of an on-the-payroll media expert who is basking in their once-a-year camera time.  We talk about the biggest news story of the year so far in 2006, the biggest taxpayer and consumer rip-off, the biggest "who cares" news story we were made to suffer through, the best/worst TV news shows and much more. Vern and I also have our list of candidates for the 2006 Hosebag Of The Year Award.  Vern asks me about my worst dining experience, my best dining experience, and how I think the mid-term political elections will shake out.

Derek "The Bandit" is a radio personality and club DJ living in South Africa and hosts his own podcast at Sound Republic.  Derek and I talk about radio from around the world, American music, the record business, we trade radio stories, and talk about where podcasting fits into the media world.  We also discuss misconceptions about South Africa and myths about radio programming.  Derek asks me why I have a podcast named You Are The Guest, what do I do during the weekends to relax,  and if I plan on attending the Portable Media Expo this year.

Guest:  David from Aurora, Colorado

David is a college student who created the Gradients of Sight website and podcast.  David tells of his experience with losing his site and talks about living with low vision.  We also take time to discuss the situation with Iran and an article David wrote about the number of casualties reported in the Iraq War.  David asks me what would be the first thing to enter my mind when I encounter a person with blindness or low vision problems, if I agree with his threat assessment of Iran, and would I perceive someone with a cane differently as opposed to being with a guide dog.

Guest:  Greg from Cleveland, Ohio

Greg lives in Cleveland and runs a very successful BBQ forum and is in the process of making his own brand of BBQ sauce.  Greg and I talk about many things going on in Cleveland including the top local news story on a very slow news day, how the Governor of Ohio is doing, Bill and Hillary Clinton, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and you'll hear a tip from the experts when it comes to cooking out, including one meat that does not cook very well.  Greg asks me why or why not Stanley "Tookie" Williams should have been executed, if I think that if downtown New Orleans had been populated with affluent white people that the rescue response would have been quicker and handled better, and what legacy do I hope to leave behind.
