RE:Balance is hosted by former Al Jazeera and TVNZ presenter Kamahl Santamaria, who knows a thing or two about 'being the story' and how the quest for clicks can result in a story that doesn't quite match the headline.
In this podcast, Kamahl takes the big headlines and 'rebalances' them with different perspectives and approaches. It's not about taking a side - it's about presenting more than one side, and being open to even the unpopular opinions.
