Fran Kelly describes hosting RN Breakfast for 17 years as being like running on a mouse wheel — a frantic two and a half hours, conducting about 10 interviews with politicians and newsmakers, musicians and writers, scientists and sporting stars.
Now she's changing pace, hosting her own tonight show, Frankly, which, each Friday night, will feature three guests and a band and promises engaging and entertaining conversation.
"This show brings together an eclectic mix of people, who you'd love to sit down with on a Friday night and hang out with, who are going to be interesting or surprising or funny," Kelly says.
