Listen to The Country online with Jamie Mackay: Rowena Duncum’s ‘last day’ as executive producer

The Country's executive producer of six and a half years, Rowena Duncum.

Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay says “goodbye” to Rowena Duncum, who is leaving her role as executive producer after six and a half glorious years. However, she will still host the show when Mackay is away on a (golf) course so Duncum fans won’t miss her voice for too long.

On with the show:
