It's the Best of The Country! Brought to you by Rabobank and Jamie Mackay who selects his favourite interviews from the week that was.

First up - Sir Peter Leitch: We caught up with an iconic Kiwi at the PGG Wrightson Real Estate Annual Conference in Queenstown earlier in the week.

Winston Peters: The New Zealand First leader is all fired up about the proposed SFF merger with Shanghai Maling saying the "shonky, corrupt deal stinks to high heaven".

Richard Laugesen: Is a sheep & beef farmer and vineyard operator from Blenheim who recently attended the Rabobank Global Farmers Master Class in Zambia.

John Key: The big story of the day is the drop in the OCR to 2% and we asked the Prime Minister why the dollar has risen when lowering the OCR is meant to drop it?
