ON THE AIR~John Bailes Hosts New Talk Show

I will host a new radio talk show reaching out to those who normally do not get heard. The show is called Work & Family and it will air on WNOO 1260 AM tomorrow.

Work & Family will air every Thursday at 12:30 - 1:00 p.m. The talk show will focus on working people and how they experience every day life--whether they be small business people, teachers, nurses, hotel or wait staff, janitors, etc. The show will explore how working people struggle or succeed at work and family, people who work one or two or three jobs, who own their home or rent, who have gone through a bankruptcy or made a bundle, who earn above or below a living wage, and who may or may not have health insurance.

I have invited one of my brothers as my first guest. My youngest brother, Scott Bailes, happens to be in Chattanooga on a short visit from Irapuato, Mexico. He is a missionary serving God in this Mexican city of a half-million people. I will ask my brother to share his thoughts on work and family in Mexico and how a better understanding of Mexico could lead Americans to a more humane immigration policy.
