Topics - The Annual Demographia International Housing Affordability has been released and New Zealand conitnues to be one of the most unaffordable countries in the world to buy a house, with the median price more than six times the median annual household income. We ask Leroy Beckett from Generation Zero what this means for younger people hoping to buy a house - should they wait or give up? Jacinda Ardern has been named as a highlight among people like David Attenborough, Shinzo Abe, Prince William, and Angela Merkel for the World Economic Forum in Davos next week. We ask the panelists if this star international reputation will translate into real results for New Zealand. Cassette tapes are apparently making a comeback, with tapes still being made and musicians releasing music on the outdated format. It's only making a few buck sin New Zealand so far. We talk to Roger Marbeck of Marbecks music store about whether this is a fad or here to stay...again.
