  • Jim mora

    Jim’s program is the only thing I listen to on National radio. It feels like he still talks to the average New Zealander. His interview style is exceptional and he doesn’t seem to think he needs to score personal points but focuses on getting information people want to know about.

  • Best listening of the week!

    Jim is a fantastic interviewer. I only regret that he moved from afternoons and we can’t hear him 5 times a week.

How good is online dental advice?

Q: Do you think Trump likes your characterizations of him, and have you heard feedback from him or his circle?
