Hotseats are events where GovernorNet�s users are invited to pose their questions on various topics to the hotseat guest. Questions are emailed in advance and an interviewer then puts the questions to the guest. The interview is often filmed, and users can watch the question-and answer session live over the Internet or read a transcript of the interview.
