It's the whole show in one go! Today's edition of The Country is brought to you the year 1977 and the sweet yet slightly sinister sound of The Eagles' Hotel California.

Monday's resident weather expert Phil Duncan says summer's first foray is upon us this week.

Minister of Finance Bill English discusses the cost of the earthquakes, the prospect of tax cuts and his performance in the Queenstown half marathon.

Today's panel features Steve Wyn-Harris and Grant McCallum, a Central Hawke's Bay sheep farmer and a Northland cow cocky who discuss the farming fallout from the quakes and the prospects for dairy lamb.
