It's the best bits of last week according to Jamie Mackay as he chooses the choicest audio cuts from The Country for your aural delight.

Jamie caught up with Bill English to talk about Brexit and whether it's the end of centre-right governments globally. Say it ain't so Bill!

Then Mackay had a chat to Derek Daniell who is a well-known sheep and tennis breeder. Huh?

While Derek was in the running for an award at the Beef+Lamb NZ Sheep Industry Awards his son Marcus is playing at Wimbledon!

Professor Jacqueline Rowarth steps into the ring next and she's not pulling any punches when it comes to controversial columnist Rachel Stewart's dairy comments.

Happy Birthday Labour! Jamie chats to Andrew Little and gets a history lesson on some pretty iconic Labour leaders from the past. Will Little be one for the future?

George Murdoch is Rabobank's East Coast regional manager. He reviews the Sheep Industry Awards in Masterton and why his region needs the Ruataniwha Dam.

Last but not least; Nadine Porter is the Communications Manager for the FMG Young Farmer of the Year Competition.

She spoke to Jamie about the big event and answers that tricky belated television coverage question...
