The link for the radio interview is https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/nightlife/nightlife/10379678  (ABC Nightlife with Philip Clark)

and the interview starts at approximately  1  hour 3 minutes into audio file and lasts approximately 20 minutes. (total  audio file 4 hours). This is an Australian link, not sure if it is available outside of Australia.

(The first part of the link is about dementia).
