Listen back to feature interviews and performances from the 95bFM Breakfast Show. Weekly features (such as Loose Reads or Travelling Tunes) all have their own feeds, so to listen or subscribe, pick and choose from the bCasts list on the right.
It's the bFM Breakfast Club, live from Real Groovy Records! Live performances from Trapjaw Kelpie and The Biscuits, and a live didgeridoo performance from Mikey as part of our weekly Travelling Tunes feature. Don't say we never do anything for you.
Thanks to our mates at Coffee Supreme and BurgerFuel.
While at times completely derailed by the appearance of real live oysters, accompanied by Camilla and Tim from Rockefeller Oyster Bar, the show also manages to include an interview with the lovely Beth Orton; political commentary with Jennifer Curtin; crate dives from Troy and the folk at Southbound; some drooling from Producer Sarah and some swearing from Top Ten Pearl. It's a corker.

Beth Orton joins Mikey, down the phoneline, prior to travelling here for her three New Zealand shows. How does her latest release, Kidsticks, fit in to her greater catalogue and how will she be bringing it to us live in June?
What a ripper: giant grounded clown balloons; Maria Walls on Leo's doco on climate change; Phil Goff in the first of our weekly catch ups; Laneway promoter Manolo Echave on Wellington's ticketing monopoly decision; and a bunch of Rob's bollocks.
NZ gig promoter Manolo Echave on Venues Wellington's recent decision to enter an exclusivity arrangement with Ticketmaster. What does this mean for gig goers, both in Wellington and greater NZ?
