The H Files With Kevin Hillier

Kevin Hillier is the host of a new podcast, The H Files With Kevin Hillier. The premier episode will feature former Beatle Pete Best.

Hillier says: “So, after 50 plus years behind a microphone what’s left to do? Lots, and I plan on doing just that for as long as I can via Food Bytes with Sarah Patterson, Authorised, Ruck ‘n Roll and my new show The H Files.”

“One thing that I think I have got better at over the years and love more now than ever is interviewing. In the early days at 4IP in Brisbane you had stars like Status Quo, George Benson and Shirl from Skyhooks coming into the building. Same in the 3XY days, and then of course I was lucky enough to host ‘Rocksat’ for 199 episodes and bring acts from all over the world to radio stations across Australia.”

“I love it because I am still a fan, but a better equipped one technically and mentally to sit with people like Graham Nash, Judy Collins, Burt Ward, Lindsay Wagner, Donny Most, Jimmy Barnes, Pete Best and whomever and have a chat.”

“I am as fascinated as you to hear their stories.”

Coming soon Gerry Beckley, Eric Idle, Gary US Bonds, Lindsay Wagner, Skunk Baxter, Colin Bluntone and many more.
