Pauline "Polly" Gillespie is a New Zealand radio host, formerly on More FM. She co-hosted on The Polly and Grant Show Saturday mornings from 6-10am and the All-Day Breakfast show on Rova with her ex-husband, Grant Kereama.[1]
Gillespie and Kereama hosted the ZM breakfast show from 1991 to 2014, making them the longest-serving breakfast duo in New Zealand. The show rated well in Wellington, and enjoyed success across New Zealand.
On 28 April 2014, Gillespie and her ex-husband launched a new show on The Hits,[2] owned by NZME.[3] They left The Hits in 2017,[4] and moved to a Wellington weekday breakfast show on More FM that ended in June 2020.[3][5]
Gillespie also wrote an agony aunt column for Woman's Day New Zealand until the magazine closed in April 2020.[6] She has written an autobiography,[7] titled The Misadventures of Polly Gillespie.[8] She had previously outlined her family history in an opinion article published in The New Zealand Herald in 2016.[9]
In November 2021, Gillespie was announced as part of the lineup for MediaWorks' brand new talk radio network, Today FM which launched in March 2022.[10]
