Today on The Country radio show, host Jamie Mackay ONZM, is in Auckland, fresh from receiving the premier Outstanding Contribution to Radio Award at the NZ Radio & Podcast Awards.
This is just over a year after his King’s Birthday Honours recognition.
Mackay is in demand; this morning, he spoketo Herald NOW’s Ryan Bridge about what to expect at Fieldays (see above).
On today’s show, he catches up with fellow award-winner, Newstalk ZB Drive host Heather du Plessis-Allan, who received the title of Sir Paul Holmes Broadcaster of the Year.
Mackay also spends the entire show playing “Where’s Winston?” but that’s the perils of live radio.
The 2022 Young Farmer of the Year talks about his move to go dairy farming closer to the South Pole.
