Today on your bFM Breakfast: We're asking the listeners how festive they really are; Rob brings us Catnip and a polarising debate over Salt & Vinegar crisps; Short Player features Ron Gallipoli and his track Christmas Fascists; Buzz from VOOM pops back into the studio for a cheerful chat about the 3rd Annual Christmas Shindig; the Prime Minister makes time to call us in amongst a tragedy in Aotearoa; Tim Batt sheds some light on what's happening behind the scenes of media; and Jazmine Mary dials in to tell us about her track We Like To Party.
Voom are headlining the 100% GOOD Xmas Shindig at the Leigh Sawmill this weekend, and Buzz popped into studio to chat to us about it. With two tracks in the NZVAPOR Top 95 Countdown, and many years of 95bFM good times under their belt, we are certainly stoked to hear that there might be some new music on the band's horizon...
Rob brings in a couple of special topics this week. He teaches Rachel and Tess about the effects of Catnip (safe for animals?) and opens up a debate over the best crisp flavour, must to Tess's dismay.
The Prime Minister calls in this morning after an awful week in Aotearoa. Talking to Rachel about the Whakaari / White Island eruption, and the measles outbreak in Samoa.
Tim Batt is back with an update on TV Three (spoiler: nothing's changed) and the TVNZ / RNZ situation (still many question marks). Plus a few things on Rupert Murdoch and Huawei. Yikes.
Jazmine Mary calls in from the Interislander, whilst between islands, to chat with Rachel about her new single We Like To Party. Ahead of her gig at the Wine Cellar this weekend, Jazmine talks to Rachel about her journey up to Auckland and what the songs about. Get your tickets here.
On the 18th December, the final reading of Te Pire kia Unuhia te Hara kai Runga i a Rua Kēnana The Rua Kēnana Pardon Bill will take place at Parliament. Following that, there will be a gathering at Maungapōhatu of the Crown and the descendants of Rua Kēnana himself. Lillian Hanly had the opportunity to visit Maungapōhatu late last month. There, she took part in a working bee being held in preparation of the gathering and was able to talk to those present about what they thought of the Bill, and what they hoped the future would look like.
Auckland Mayor Phil Goff outlined the annual budget for 2020/2021 yesterday. Most significant is his plan to reduce the council's emissions by 20% by moving to electric vehicles and sustainable energy. The budget also includes preparations for a number of international events to be hosted in Auckland in 2021, including the America's Cup. Felix Walton spoke to Phil Goff about the budget, as well as asking him about the ongoing bus lockout and Jacinda Ardern's decision to move the port.
