RNZ Pre-Panel: The Story of the Day (Feb 4, 5, 7)

Following on from last week I was on the Pre-Panel on RNZ once again.

The Panel runs from 4-5pm but at 3.45pm they have the “Pre-Panel” where Wallace Chapman introduces the guests and the question of the day and they get a producer or a guest (or whatever) to run the story of the day; a little gimmick. A chat about something not so serious but slightly amusing (or whatever). Though sometimes it’s very serious.

I tackled some serious and not so serious issues.

From recapping Joaquin Phoenix’s BAFTA speech and his call for film diversity  to the new Red Light Traffic Rule in India  to finally discussing that it’s put-up or shut-up time for New Year’s Resolutions…

Those were the topics
