BANNISTER ON WBCK LAST WEEK

Bannister had the privilege of filling in for Chris Simmons on WBCK's Hotline program this past week. He was the guest co-host, along with station manager Tim Collins, for three shows. "It was a great experience," Bannister said. "We talked about a variety of issues and had some great callers. I am hoping to do more with WBCK in the future."

Bannister talked about issues such as the city commissioners considering a ban on "public smoking," the myth of a constitutional Separation of church & state, the Intelligent Design controversy, the failure of liberal talk-radio, the Battle Creek public employees pension debate, and the violence against members of Young Americans for Freedom at the MSU event featuring Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO).
