The Host

Niel Young has served in various local and state public service roles and manages a small business. Outspoken and opinionated, Niel says the purpose of the radio program is to both inform and promote spirited discussion of local, state, and national issues. Although politically conservative in focus, Niel encourages people from all political philosophies and party affiliations to participate.
