Excellent public service

Consistently rigorous, wide ranging, acutely topical and packed with news I need to know. Well hosted and edited, too. Thanks RNZ!

Great podcast

I love the variety of topics and the knowledge of guests. A great way to get a more detailed understanding of current events. And it highlights issues that I wasn’t even aware of.

Great journalism, always interesting

I love this in-depth look into aspects of Aotearoa New Zealand with a mix of news, & contemporary stories. I never know what topic I’m going to learn a little about each day on The Detail, but it’s always current, always interesting & very enjoyable.
