A Palestinian solidarity group is calling on the Israeli Ambassador to New Zealand to apologise to citizens for their country’s treatment of palestinian refugees. Israel has been criticised by the United Nations and other groups for its refusal to let refugees return to their homeland, which contravenes international law. Lachlan spoke with John Minto from the Palestinian Solidarity Network about Israel’s treatmnet of Palestinian refugees.

Today on your bFM Breakfast: Rachel's feeling bright and sprightly this Monday morning; Penelope Noir talks berets, fashion and history this week; Matthew and Tom join Rachel to talk about Strange Things; Jenna's talking about Handmaid's Tale and more importantly, The Farm; and Natural Ange is here with some tea suggestions to help you stress less. And lucky for you, Monday's are for exciting announcements, yay.

In light of the new series of Handmaid's Tale, Jenna thought The Farm was a fitting match. The novel tells the story of Mae Yu, the woman who runs Golden Oaks - a luxury retreat transforming the fertility industry. That's right, a dystopian social commentary about surrogacy. Yikes.

Two familiar voices in the studio this morning, Rachel chats with Matthew Crawley and Thomas Sainsbury about their show starting tomorrow night, Strange Things. It's the all-in-one parody show of the entire first season of Stranger Things. Written by Lee Smith-Gibbons, directed by Thomas Sainsbury, and staring Matthew Crawley (as multiple characters), this is not to be missed. Tickets here.
