  • Well produced, informative

    I am neither a Kiwi nor have I yet to visit New Zealand. However, these business snippets out of Radio New Zealand broadcasts are well worth listening to if you want to get some insight into equities and business in New Zealand.

    It is obviously very well produced and professionally presented. A delightful aspect is it seems all the business news readers are women. I have no idea why they are all women but I like the equality.
