Strictly a call for the Kiwi fans here unless you're willing to put RadioNZ live through your modem for the next week from 6 to 9pm EST.

Kimi has been nagging Radio NZ to interview Sir Ian, and now it seems that her wishes have been answered.

"....this afternoon I heard a preview of Kim Hill's programs for the coming week, and they mentioned that she will be interviewing Ian McKellen. They didn't say which day, but keep your ears open, and I will too."

The Kim Hill nine-to-noon show is THE premiere current affairs/interview show for NZ's thinking radio listeners.

We'd LOVE to get a recording/transcript/copy/heads-up alert about when this is going to happen. So lend us your ears for the next week, Kiwis, and see if we can catch this interview.
