Sandy Kaye - Australian Radio And TV Personality And Podcast Host. Talks About Interviewing Muhammad Ali, Queen Elizabeth, Graham Nash, Peter Frampton, John Helliwell, Micky Dolenz And More!
Episode Notes
Sandy Kaye is a longtime Australian TV and radio journalist and personality and is also the host of a terrific podcast called "A Breath Of Fresh Air". Like me, she's a big fan of 60s and 70s music, and she's interviewed a number of famous musicians from that era. Sandy and I discuss how technology and the media have changed over time, her career in the media, her radio show that morphed into her podcast, and several of her famous interviews including Muhammad Ali, Queen Elizabeth, Graham Nash, Peter Frampton, John Helliwell and Micky Dolenz.
My featured song in this episode is “New York City Groove” from the album Made In New York by my band Project Grand Slam. Spotify link here.
