Prime Minister To Host Radio Live Show Tomorrow

Prime Minister John Key will be hosting a one-hour radio show this Friday, 30th September from 2pm on RadioLIVE.

In a first for RadioLIVE, the show will feature the Prime Minister, listeners and some very special guests including Sir Richard Branson and Richie McCaw.

RadioLIVE listeners will have the opportunity to talk to John Key directly, sharing what’s on their minds, and putting questions to the Prime Minister via phone and www.radiolive.co.nz.
