“The interviews are great and the topics are diverse. But something about the sound quality is subtly grating, sometimes I can’t endure it. It probably isn’t noticeable on radio, and maybe age plays a role too. It sounds like lossy compression has been used and the compression is too aggressive. I...”Read full review »

“How can I listen to Kim Hill’s best interviews from Saturday morning over the last 25 years?
Thank you Kim for the last 25 years…your intellect, humour and interviewing Brilliance will be sadly missed!
New Zealand has been fortunate to have had you!”

“As a kiwi living in the USA this podcast fills my cup and gives that dose of kiwi news and interviews. Kim is iconic.
My only ask is release the full Saturday morning program in a one episode. (Would be nice to just put on the full episode and catch up instead of selecting each story) cheers”

“About the last vestige of intelligence left on Radio NZ National. Her presence makes it sadly obvious how far standards of the other presenters had declined. About the only Radio NZ interviewer I trust on science, because she does her homework first, all the others mostly misread the questions...”Read full review »

“There once was a fearless truth seeker called Kim Hill. She had an eye for arrogance and fallacy like no one else in New Zealand. He questions thrilled. She was clever and interesting and funny. In later years the great Kim Hill was replaced with a meek and compliant shell of a interviewer. She...”Read full review »

“Podcasts mean I never miss one of Kim’s shows. I am amazed at how well researched she is for such a breadth of topics and guests. It is great to have the time to delve into complicated subjects without rushing. The highlight of my week.

“A thought provoking interview with Dr Srinjoy. I hope I live long enough to see the sprouting seeds of the suggested future possibilities for Afghanistan.”

“The thing I like about Saturday morning is I don’t always like it. It tips me out of my comfort zone and makes me think. Today it is so easy to live only in my world view . Thankfully Kim Hill makes me step into other peoples, and it’s makes life so much more interesting .”
“Once upon a time if I answered the phone and it was Kim Hill I would’ve hung up for fear of my reputation. But now Kim has mellowed somewhat, still sharp, still asking good questions and often challenging glib answers”

“Agree entirely, Kim is a brilliant interviewer. Don’t know how she manages to not say anything offensive yet delves so deep.
Jim Mora is also great. He is polite yet thorough. They both have fast brain to speech reactions, wide knowledge and high intelligence. Brian Crump is just right too....”Read full review »
