The Panel

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Penny Ashton and Alan McElroy. First up, beloved artist Otis Frizzell joins the show to recount the mammoth 17 hour mission to paint a mural for the Warriors ahead of the weekend. Then, Exercise NZ chief executive Richard Beddie explains just how far he thinks athletes should push themselves, after Australian athlete Joanna Wietrzyk carried on after soiling herself during a competition in China. And to build or not to build in Devonport? A fast-tracked 8-storey housing development has picked up strong backlash from some locals, but today, The Panel hears from Reuben, a resident who supports it. Finally Kapiti-based nurse Debs Phillips has picked up 1,500 social media followers in two months for doing something simple, yet heartwarming: turning up to different workplaces and starting a singalong.

Wallace Chapman and Jesse Mulligan star in the shortest show on radio, where they show they really can make something out of nothing, join them to be part of their delight, or to simply despair. Wallace will also preview what's on The Panel tonight.

An extra half hour of The Panel with Wallace Chapman, where to begin, he's joined by Nights host Emile Donovan. Then: a good hard look at bouncy castles and whether they actually are safe or not.

First up, we examine the furore around rapper Macklemore losing his place as support act on Ed Sheerans Loop Tour over his public pro-Palestine stance. Then, are we swimming in a sea of lobbyists? A new report says we are and that has implications for public policy. We follow that discussion with a look at fears ex-pats avoiding New Zealand because of their ballooning student debt, could face more chance of being arrested under a proposed law change. And finally we learn about the Llama-Squad, a crack team of 6 llamas that help to keep a flock of sheep safe.
