No transcript as yet, but if anyone wants to listen, it's on this.  PM
is a daily radio programme that runs from about 1700 UTC for about an
hour every day, so the interview will not be available on this URL for
long.  If you have a way of snaffling the sound for posteriority (an
olde steam-powered tape recorder should do) do it quickly.

The piece is at 36'40" and starts with a woman's voice reading the
introduction to the Wikipedia article on the PM program.  Then there's
a telephone interview with David Gerard, with his strong Australian
accent very evident.  It finishes at around 41'.
