I was so sad when Kim left the RNZ show I remember keenly having boiled eggs with my grandfather listening to her so many years ago. It is so cool to be able to listen to this on the way to work. She has to be one of the most amazing voices and minds in the world of the radio and podcast world.
World Class!
