NBR Radio Weekend Rumble: Boozy benders, the broadcasting boys club & things that go 'Boom!'

Guest panellist Lance Wiggs joins NBR’s Duncan Bridgeman, Deborah LaHatte, Jason Walls, Emerson Howitt, Nathan Smith and Nick Grant to discuss – or dismiss – some of the week's top stories on NBR Radio and on demand via MyNBR Radio.

This week’s agenda includes:

The debate about the flag referendum being swiftly consigned to the discussion dustbin
How a staffer in Steven Joyce’s office lost a laptop and a bunch of papers on what has been described as “a night out,” and how we’ve all been there, right? (Spoiler: Mr Grant once lost five belongings – including his bicycle – on a youthful bender)
The devastating series of explosions in a major Chinese industrial port and the potential implications for China’s economy (not to mention Fonterra)
The issue of media diversity or lack thereof (and is NBR really, as one subscriber described it in a tweet, “Reporting of White Men, by White Men, for White Men. Paradise.”)
And Moa Group’s initial response to last week’s Rumble in the Raw taste test, which pushed the idea that there’s no such thing as bad publicity to breaking point.
