6PR veteran broadcaster Bob Maumill retired from the station in 2016 after a radio career spanning over 40 years.

He returned to his old stomping ground when he joined Julie-anne Sprague on 6PR’s Afternoons to talk about his new book ‘Letters From a Hard Country’.

Recovering from serious illness, Maumill decided to write a novel in the historical fiction genre, set in the late 1890s and early 1900s.
