NZ's economic woes are complicated and many-headed, but business guru Andy Hamilton has exactly 26 ideas for ways it could be improved.

Some of them, like becoming part of Australia, are a bit dumb – but there are others that could have a lot of potential.

Hamilton also looks back at what it was like going through the We Are Indigo and Manaaki v Callaghan Innovation stoush, and talks through what he took away from the experience.

Plus, it's Ben's last episode so he talks through the changes at NZME that have led to him seeking his fortune elsewhere, and Peter outlines what to expect from next week.

Thanks so much to all the listeners and supporters over the last 89 episodes.
