  • Great but just stops?

    This podcast frequently ends in the middle of what seems like the next story. Weird editing choice. But love getting the little quick news updates so I'll keep listening

  • Could do better

    These days one has to speak Maori in order to understand half of the news bulletin, especially when it comes to the place names. Evidently “New Zealand” is a dirty word, and God forbid reference is made to “Christchurch”.
