  • Jim Murphy, writer for the weekly TV and radio magazine and program guide Listener In-TV, recorded this interview at Graham’s home in Victoria Rd, Hawthorn, prior to his last IMT show on 23 Dec 1969. They agreed that the contents of the interview would remain confidential until after Graham left IMT, when it could then be published in the magazine. The interview appeared in four parts in January and February 1970 under the title 'Graham Kennedy’s Own Story'.
