Late Night Live is a radio program broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Radio National and podcast and streamed over the World Wide Web.
Since 1991, the program has been hosted by farmer, writer and public intellectual Phillip Adams, who refers to the program by its acronym 'LNL', which during 2016 morphed into 'FNL'. He also calls it 'the little wireless program'. Previous hosts include publisher and journalist Richard Ackland, and Virginia Bell, formerly a judge of the High Court of Australia. Recent guest hosts include: Tracey Holmes, Jonathan Green, Elizabeth Jackson and Andrew West.
Often the setting for a serious and learned discussion of politics, science, philosophy and culture, the program aims to host cutting-edge discussion of public debate, and present ideas and issues not yet covered by other Australian media.
The programme is broadcast from 10:05 pm until 11 pm Mondays to Thursdays, and is repeat broadcast at 4:05 pm from Tuesdays to Fridays. During January of each year, selected segments from the previous 10 or 11 months are re-broadcast, in lieu of fresh programming.
In 2011 a special online retrospective was compiled to celebrate 20 years behind the LNL microphone, called "In Bed With Phillip". Over 200 of the best interviews from these years are now available to listen and download. [1]
To coincide with Phillip's 20th anniversary at LNL he wrote "Bedtime Stories: Tales from my 21 years at RN's Late Night Live", published by Harper Collins, outlining why he decided to join RN, his early experiences with producers, talent and what the time has meant to him personally.
