Listen now
Description
At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.    C-listers: 7/10  Burn of the week.

Surely this makes us a rockstar economy again? Surely? Right?    The Defence Force plane: 3/10  The outworkings of numerous Governments that lacked back bone and never understood basic investment.    Sail GP in Christchurch: 4/10  They said they wouldn't be back, and they won't be.

Real estate agents get what her argument is, but I suspect she will lose in court.    Eden Park: 8/10  A Super Rugby game sold out. About damn time.    Joseph Parker: 8/10  Warm vibes from me. A really nice guy who sits comfortably these days in his own skin. It's been awesome to watch the journey over the last decade.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
