More about the episode

Hamish McNicol and Calida Stuart-Menteath co-edit the National Business Review, New Zealand's business publication of record. For a publication which could appear very conservative, it has been anything but across both its editorial output and its business strategy. McNicol and Stuart-Menteath join Duncan Greive on The Fold to discuss their flagship editorial project, the Rich List, and the impact of various brilliant (and occasionally bizarre) decisions the NBR’s owners, Todd and Jackie Scott, have made over the years.
