Bedtime Stories by Phillip Adams

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

For 21 years, Phillip Adams has been the witty, smooth and informed voice of Late Night Live on ABC Radio National. In the studio, he poses questions to world leaders, thinkers, ideologues, crackpots, and gurus. But what about the stories that don't make it to air? The ones about the guests who don't behave, the tricky questions that must be asked, the interviewees who don't pause for breath or worse, who refuse to speak?

Here, Phillip shares the secrets of his radio days, from when he was looked upon as a commercial upstart to when Henry Kissinger, Christopher Hitchens, Kevin Rudd, and many others lined up to be interviewed by him. He reflects on the sometimes comic, sometimes poignant, occasionally fraught art of putting together live radio for a show where anything could happen and almost everything has. (back cover)
