Publisher's Synopsis
Each week when Bill Mares' voice comes over the airwaves of Vermont Public Radio, his listeners don't know what he's going to talk about, but they do know they're in for a treat. Mare's interests are as varied and eclectic as his fans. He shares his thoughts and experiences on topics ranging from beekeeping to marathon running to international politics, all within the parameters of the broadcasting time limited minutes of 3:14 and Out. With passion, humor, and a wry self-awareness, he describes a presidential fishing trip, ponders the meaning of friendship in a digital age, and recounts what it's like to travel to a different country and subsequently see our society through a different lens. 3:14 and Out is appealing for both its light touch and its deeper thoughtfulness. Mares is a proud citizen of Vermont, our country, and of the world, and his passion for art, music, agriculture, athleticism, and the human condition are prevalent throughout this entertaining and thought-provoking collection.
