Book-related guests on Saturday Morning with Kim Hill,
Radio NZ National. 3 October 2009

Between 10.00 and 11.00am in the Playing Favourites slot, Kim talks to Ian Chapman, aka Dr Glam, whose 1970s cultural fetishism led to gainful employment when he joined the first-ever rock degree course in New Zealand at Otago University. His memoir of the era is Glory Days: from Gumboots to Platforms (HarperCollins, ISBN: 978-1-86950-728-2). Expect glam rock music and other musical surprises.
