World Have Your Say (WHYS) is an international BBC global discussion show, that was broadcast on BBC World Service every weekday at 16:00 UTC and on BBC World News every Friday at 15:00 UTC.
World Have Your Say won Gold in the 2008 Sony Radio Awards, in the category Listener Participation.[1]
The show described itself as "the BBC News programme where you set the agenda."[2] Typically each edition addressed a question, or number of questions, raised by the users of its blog[3] and Facebook site,[4][non-primary source needed] as well as emailers to the BBC.
It encouraged callers to talk to each other and directed questions asked by listeners to the guests on the programme, intervening as little as possible to keep the show more of a conversation than a talk show.
The show also occasionally worked as a forum for the BBC World Service's global audience to put questions to a particular guest. Previous guests included Aung San Suu Kyi,[5] Philip Pullman[6] and Thilo Sarrazin.[7]
