Old country broadcast set up to include last of such poems (8)
I believe the answer is:
rhodesia
'old country' is the definition.
(former country)
'broadcast set up to include last of such poems' is the wordplay.
'broadcast set up' becomes 'ria' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'to include' indicates putting letters inside.
'last of' suggests the final letters.
'poems' becomes 'odes' (ode is a kind of poem).
The last letter of 'such' is 'h'.
'h'+'odes'='hodes'
'ria' going around 'hodes' is 'RHODESIA'.
(Other definitions for rhodesia that I've seen before include "former state" , "country that declared independence" , "Name of old Commonwealth country" , "Former name for today's Zambia and Zimbabwe combined" , "Former African country" .)
