Rocky Horror Creator At 84: Richard O'Brien On Fame, Money & Being "70% Male"

Even if you don’t know the name you most definitely know this guests work! I’d almost guarantee you have sung or danced to his song, The Time Warp!

Richard O’Brien is the creator and writer of The Rocky Horror Show. A show he wrote more than 50 years ago that is still an international cult classic.

This is Richards first ever long form podcast and it was an absolute honor that he chose mine.

Richard is 84. He is sharp as ever, funny, opinionated, occasionally outrageous - and completely comfortable saying exactly what he thinks

Like a lot of Kiwis, I spent years saying, “I’ll look at my KiwiSaver account later.”

Turns out later comes around faster than you think, and the decisions you make now could be the difference between counting every dollar in retirement or having the freedom to take that trip you've always talked about.

I switched my KiwiSaver account to Generate after they came on board, and honestly, I should’ve done it sooner.
