The Panel

In part two, to Dunedin, and an argument over the positioning of signs outside shops on the recently renovated George Street. Then, four weeks ago, 83-year-old Oamaru maths teacher Jeanette Aker ran the London Marathon. Wallace checks in to hear about her achievements.

Why aren't ambulance services fully government funded? Why does the UK churn through so many Prime Ministers?

Wallace Chapman and Jesse Mulligan star in the shortest show on radio, alongside producer Tessa Guest.

An extra half hour of The Panel with Wallace Chapman, where to begin, he's joined by Nights host Emile Donovan. Then: we mark the return of Andrew Hunt, a semi retired chartered professional engineer of 45 years of rail industry experience for another hit of train facts. Last time it was 'rail gauges', this time we discuss how rail advocacy works.

In part two, according to new research, the mismatch between what's being built and what downsizers want is stark. The panel hears why older New Zealanders aren't buying the home built for them. Then, we talk chickens. Special chickens. This weekend the Dunedin Poultry, Pigeon and Cage Bird Club's annual exhibit will take place. The panel talks to Pip Brosnahan, a Leith Valley homesteader who's developed a passion for breeding heritage chickens.
