This paper examines the interaction in two radio psychologists' call-in shows, with a specific focus on their use of discourse strategies. In any public discourse, the representation of texts, spoken and written alike, are interwoven with certain ideological meanings, which can be enacted implicitly or explicitly in ways of using language. This study presents an analysis of hosts' advice-giving to track the ideological meanings behind their words. The findings showed that the hosts' advice reflected ideological beliefs about maintaining proper family relationships. Three discourse strategies were identified, including exaggerating callers' issues, predicting unfavorable events, and using imagined scenarios. The hosts tended to use these strategies, when callers were not receptive to their input or advice, in order to maintain their authority as an advice-giver and to control the direction of the talk.
