From KCRW, this is Vanessa. The last episode on the air was based on an interview with

Rod Quinn who hosts the late night show Overnights on ABC Radio in Australia.

Sometime before I interviewed Rod,

he interviewed me for overnights.

We had a great time talking about a wide range

of nocturnal topics and talking to the

listeners who called in to share their feelings and observations about the night.

Rod was kind enough to let me share part of that night show with you as a bonus of sorts.

We'll be back in a few weeks with another episode of Nocturn.

Now here's Overnights with Rod Quinn on ABC Radio.

Maybe Bob Dylan had it right when he sang,

Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet.

Or maybe Bruce Springsteen, who observed that there are some things that can only be found

in the darkness on the edge of town, or when he's's saying it feels right as you lock up the house

Turn out the lights and step out into the night. What is it about the night, about what happens in the darkness when most people are asleep?

Everyone but you and me.

People working, people who can't sleep, people who prefer to stay awake

in the wee small hours because they can get work done or won't be distracted or are inspired by the night. The podcast

Nocturne by Vanessa Lowe explores what happens in the hours between when the sun goes down and when it rises again the next

morning. We know what goes on at night because we're here sharing the night together as Dr Hook might have said but what

has Vanessa Lowe found Vanessa is with us this morning and welcome to

overnights thank you thanks for having me morning and welcome to overnight.
