For 21 years Phillip Adams has hosted Late Night Live, one of Radio National's flagship programs, expertly batting questions to world leaders, thinkers, ideologues, crackpots and gurus. In singular style Adams has interviewed thousands of people, many of whom have become regulars -- and gathered a broad and intensely loyal audience. But what goes on behind the scenes and when the mike is off? When a guest freezes and when arguments break out? When tricky questions must be asked or when you can't recall what the guest's name is?
From his early days at Radio National where he was looked upon as a commercial upstart, to the days when Henry Kissinger, Gore Vidal, Christopher Hitchens and so many others would line up to be interviewed by him, this is a laugh-out-loud account of Phillip's radio days, how certain interviews happened, how certain others nearly didn't happen; the who, the when, the why.
