Then: Condè Nast, the publisher of Vogue, Vanity Fair and Glamour, will no longer feature "new animal fur in editorial content or advertising" in any of its titles. It's the latest high profiel ban on fur fashion - is this the end of fur? And what's the history of anti-fur activism?

First up, the horrific death of a toddler in an above ground temporary pool in 2023 has led water safety advocates to call for a ban on the pools.

While it’s hard to pick a favourite segment from RNZ, this is one I love listening to right now, having recently moved to the U.S. Syreeta h

I used to listen to The Panel every day driving home from work when I lived in NZ but after returning to the States, I missed Jim Mora’s easy, casual, yet insightful and anticipative questioning of his guests. He also has the ability to respectfully challenge perceptions and perspectives. I’m delighted that I can now keep up with my love for NZ through my favorite radio program. Thanks, Jim, and your panel!
