Thank you for your valuable service!

Thank you RNZ
I listen to the morning edition every weekday. We’re lucky that about the only regular source for news from this region is so well done, and features such wide coverage (although comparatively little from FSM and Palau). The sound quality in the interviews is sometimes low, but that’s the price you pay for getting information from a remote part of the world.
