"For 21 years Phillip Adams has been the witty, smooth and informed voice on Late Night Live on ABC Radio National. In the studio he bats questions to world leaders, thinkers, ideologues, crackpots and gurus. But what about the stories taht 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 Rud and so many others have lined up to the interviewed by him. He reflects on the sometimes comic, sometimes piognant, sometimes fraught art of putting together live radio, for a show where anything could happen and almost everything has."--Back cover.
