On this week's podcast:

Former Finance Minister, now business consultant Steven Joyce, considers the current state of NZ politics and the run-up to the October election.

What does National need to do to capture the treasury benches, and what are Labour’s chances of repelling them?

We talk the  state of the economy in both NZ and Australia, and the temperature of democracy.

We compare the reportage on Jacinda Ardern’s resignation.

And we start the New Year Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
