"While I've hosted Standing Room Only for more than 21 years, I started at RNZ way, way back, in the era of typewriters and teletexting our copy to Wellington from the Dunedin 4ZB studios - now sadly bulldozed and long gone.
"I was a very excited 19-year-old intern when I rocked up, so early that I had to sit on the steps of the building for ages waiting for the reception to open.
"The first person I met when I was escorted to the newsroom was delighted that she was no longer the cub reporter... a familiar name and my dear friend Catriona MacLeod."
