Late Night Live is a radio program broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's (domestic) Radio National and (shortwave) Radio Australia, and podcast and streamed over the World Wide Web.
Since 1991, the program has been hosted by farmer, writer and public intellectual Phillip Adams, who refers to the program by its acronym 'LNL'. Previous hosts include publisher and journalist Richard Ackland, and Virginia Bell, now a judge of the High Court of Australia.
Often the setting for a serious and learned discussion of politics, science, philosophy and culture, the program aims to host cutting-edge discussion of public debate, and present ideas and issues not yet covered by other Australian media.
In 2011 a special online retrospective was compiled to celebrate 20 years behind the LNL microphone, called "In Bed With Phillip". Over 200 of the best interviews from these years are now available to listen and download.
