Here are this week's scheduled guests for The Jim Bohannon Show. Be aware that all appearances are to be considered tentative until you actually hear them on the air! Guest scheduling can change at the drop of a hat (and both we and our guests own plenty of hats!).

  
Monday, May 12
Six investigation and two Congressional hearings later, the real story behind the death of former NFL star and Army Ranger Pat Tillman remains unknown. The Tillman family's quest for the truth is chronicled in the book "Boots on the Ground by Dusk: My Tribute to Pat Tillman," written by his mother, Mary Tillman (published by Modern Times).
 
A magnitude 7.9 earthquake is a massive upheaval and would cause devastation no matter where it occurred. China, where just such a quake hit, is no exception. The earthquake represents another problem for the Communist government, which has already been grappling with public discontent over high inflation and a widespread uprising among Tibetans in western China, all while trying to prepare for the Beijing Olympics in August. We’ll get some perspective on a China dealing with multiple crises, including this latest natural one, from journalist Simon Winchester, author of the book “The Man Who Loved China: The Fantastic Story of the Eccentric Scientist Who Unlocked the Mysteries of the Middle Kingdom” (published by Harper). 
 
Tuesday, May 13
The Second Annual G.I. Film Festival takes place this week in Washington, DC, and it’ll feature five days of film screenings (including 25 premieres) plus appearances by such Hollywood stars as Gary Sinise, Jon Voight, and Robert Duvall, among others. We’ll preview the G.I. Film Festival with its co-founder and president, Brandon Millett (and we also got a short visit from one of the Hollywood stars attending the event: Stephen Baldwin!).
 
There was a political milestone that took place earlier today: President Bush granted his first ever on-camera interview broadcast exclusively on the Internet. We’ll chat about what the President had to say with Jess Baron, director of programming for Yahoo! News. She’ll also discuss the West Virginia primary and what it means for the remainder of the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination.
 
We'll take a look at the vote count in the West Virginia primary with Jeff Jenkins, vice president of news for the West Virginia Metro News Radio Network.
 
Wednesday, May 14
Ever dream of going out on the road with your favorite rock band? Ever dream of actually going up on stage and playing with them. Bob Greene has--and did, with 1960s surf icons Jan & Dean. Bob pays us a return visit to tell this portion of his life story, recounted in the book "When We Get to Surf City: A Journey Through America in Pursuit of Rock and Roll, Friendship, and Dreams" (published by St. Martin's Press).
 
Bluegrass music, one of the unique forms of American 'roots' music, is enjoying a resurgence. We'll find out why, and hear some fine examples, from Del McCoury and Ronnie Reno, who will also tell us about the upcoming DelFest, a bluegrass and American folk festival coming up later this month.
 
Thursday, May 15
Air traffic control in America is reaching a crisis point, making the recent problems in the airline industry even worse than they appear. We’ll learn more from Patrick Forrey, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.
 
With the troop surge providing increased security in Iraq, more progress is being made in reconstruction. We’ll find out how that effort is going from Dr. John Jones, the leader of the Provincial Reconstruction Team in Diyala Province.
 
If a fence isn't the way to secure our southern border, how about a moat? No, that's not a joke, it's a serious proposal being put forth in Yuma, AZ. We’ll find out the details when we speak with Yuma’s mayor, Larry Nelson.
 
Friday, May 16
The conservative coalition brought together by Ronald Reagan has fractured—what can conservatives do to stem the rising Leftward tide? We'll ask David Frum, author of the Doubleday book "Comeback: Conservatism That Can Win Again."
 
As our current economy proves, the pundits of the business world aren’t always right. Get the straight scoop tonight from Stephen McClellan, author of "Full of Bull: Do What Wall Street Does, Not What It Says, To Make Money in the Market” (published by FT Press).
 
Amazingly, 20 million American men and women are in relationships in which the man has stopped being sexually intimate. We’ll discuss why with relationship experts Dr. Bob Berkowitz and Susan Yager-Berkowitz, authors of “He's Just Not Up for It Anymore” (published by William Morrow).
