Local answers, one guest at a time.

The format is relaxed and direct, with Lee Douglas guiding callers, text questions, guest explanations, and the occasional radio-break detour back toward usable local information.

BeMyGuest is a community interview program from WOMT with a clear public-service purpose. It is centered on local people, places, offices, programs, and concerns. Lee Douglas hosts with a loose, friendly rhythm that sounds more like a local conversation than a produced magazine show. The show is not built around hot takes. It is built around access. Guests explain where an office is located, what a service does, who should call, what number to use, and what is coming up next. That practical streak shows up strongly in episodes with the Aging and Disability Resource Center, where transportation, meal sites, information specialists, and county locations become the real substance of the hour. Health segments work the same way. A guest can move from vitamin D testing to magnesium, wound care, skin health, or appointment information without turning the exchange into a lecture. The host keeps asking for clarification. Callers and text-line questions are part of the shape of the show, not an interruption from it. Local history has a regular place too, especially through conversations with Amy Meyer about the Manitowoc County Historical Society and Pinecrest Historical Village. Those segments treat Civil War heritage, school tours, seasonal programming, wood stoves, and snowy days as connected parts of local memory. Economic development gets a similarly grounded treatment through conversations about Progress Lakeshore, workforce attraction, and the afterlife of major local employers. Education appears through Lakeshore Technical College updates, including healthcare training, clinical skills labs, and construction timelines. The show can wander. That is part of its texture. A shirt comment, a weather aside, a sponsor break, or a quick correction may sit beside a serious service detail. It still returns to the point. BeMyGuest is best understood as a local help desk with microphones: conversational, patient, and useful for people who want to hear directly from the organizations shaping daily life around Manitowoc and nearby counties.
Made for: For local listeners who want practical information about local services, health resources, history, education, business, and civic life. It especially fits people who prefer calm radio conversations with concrete next steps.
What sets it apart: BeMyGuest stands apart by treating local logistics as editorial substance: addresses, phone numbers, seasonal schedules, service details, and listener questions are central. Its value is the steady handoff from conversation to something a person can actually use.
