The gorgeous and multi-talented Leah Panapa is a woman of many skills. Her infectious personality and sultry tone have seen her rise the radio ranks throughout her three decades in broadcasting - holding many impressive posts during this time.
Leah’s exceptional broadcasting ability led her to win a whopping 10 radio awards for the Best Breakfast Show. For over 10 years she was a cornerstone of The Morning Rumble breakfast show on The Rock. From there she moved to The Sound, hosting the nationwide breakfast show for over three years. Leah’s latest success has seen her transcend music and move over to talkback at Magic Talk.
Leah hosted the Magic Nights show from 2019 - 2020, and loves having conversations with Kiwis about the issues affecting them, their communities and New Zealand. More recently she was shoulder-taped to co-host “Afternoons with Danny Watson and Leah Panapa,” which launched in March 2021.
As comfortable behind the microphone as on stage, Leah is an excellent MC and host. Leah is renowned for her fantastic sense of humour, warm nature and ability to woo any crowd. She has a real affinity with engaging the audience; encompassing the perfect balance between professionalism and downright hilarity. She has a knack for reading a room - and her years of live radio experience have enabled her to effortlessly think and react on the fly.
Leah has hosted a whole range of events over the years; from hospitality charity bashes, to the NZ Law Awards and the Miss New Zealand competitions. She’s also held her own in debates against the likes of comedians Jeremy Corbett and Gary McCormick, MC’d for multiple Les Mills events.
Leah has also tackled live stand-up performances - The Comedy Roast of Murray Mexted (broadcast on Comedy Central TV), and The Red Nose Cure Kids Charity Show (TV3) - both to rave reviews.
