Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay catches up with sheep and beef farmer, and Fireballs Aotearoa citizen scientist, Steve Wyn-Harris, who was delighted to find New Zealand’s 10th meteorite in the South Island’s Mackenzie Country this week.

On with the show:

Smiley Barrett:

Steve Wyn-Harris:

Chris Brandolino:

NIWA weather guy on what constitutes a drought declaration, as the big dry continues to bite.

Barry Soper:

Our political correspondent reflects on a brutal week for the public service, the economy in recession and Nicola’s ever-increasing fiscal hole.
