Today's music is brought to you by shouty songstress Adele. Today's interviews and with Cameron Bagrie, Winston Peters, Chris Brandolino, Steve Hollander and Andy Thompson.

It's the whole show in one go! Today The Country is brought to you by the impressive pipes of Adele. Why? Because Jamie likes her music and he's in charge that's why!

On with the show: First up is Cameron Bagrie. ANZ's chief economist comments on last night's GDT auction, the exchange rate, interest rates and whether to fix or float?

Then it's time for some Winston Peters. The New Zealand First leader shares his concerns over drought in Northland, Bill English's effort in Europe and free trade agreements in general.

Weather madness with Chris Brandolino is next. NIWA's weather forecaster has his hands full with weather bombs, wind and the big dry.

Jamie also catches up with Steve Hollander. Nominations close on January 31 for the inaugural Norwood NZ Rural Sports Awards being held in Palmerston North on March 10, in conjunction with the Hilux NZ Rural Games on March 11-12.
