  • 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.

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

Q: Does working with A-list celebrities involve face-to-face sit-downs, or how do you build relationships?

Calling Home: Cameo Turner from Los Angeles
Q: What does your job day-to-day entail exactly?
