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.
The mid-week show is packed and bound to lift spirits! On What's Up, Rachel speaks to Nicola Willis about Cyclone Gabrielle recovery, National's water policy plans, and Maureen Pugh's comments on climate change. Rob Bollix takes us to The Mind Trench, and what on earth are giant pyrosomes? Esther and Micheline from Housewitches dial in from Pōneke to chat about their new EP Toilets For Everyone. Sam Harmony from Friendly Potential chats to Rachel about the upcoming Beacon Festival, and spins a few tracks from artists on the lineup. Whakarongo mai!
Tuesday is bountiful! Rachel chats to Deputy Mayor of Tāmaki Makaurau Desley Simpson about what the budget means for climate, arts and community funding across the city. Billy Bragg talks to Rachel about his lifelong activism, and recent shows in Aotearoa. On Stage Direction, Amber and Popai come up to the studio to talk about Hemo is Home at Te Pou Theatre. Finally, Hēmi Dale joins us on Ready Steady Learn, to talk about pathways for te reo Māori revitalisation. Whakarongo mai!
Welcome to Monday! To start your week, we bring you Fashun with Penelope Noir where Pennie talks colour matching, and Proteins of Magic comes into the studio to talk about new work and upcoming shows. Jenna graces Loose Reads with a new recommendation, and Justine Sachs gives us the employment lowdown on Red Dead Redemption. Whakarongo mai nei!
Proteins Of Magic talks to Rachel about new projects (a new single, Divine Physics and an EP, Angel Hieroglyphics), new shows (get tickets to their LOT23 gig!) and the process of writing and producing tracks that tap into elemental spaces, beyond language. We also give Divine Physics a spin, so have a listen!
It's Zoë's last day as Breakfast Producer today! Whakarongo mai nei for some big feels in the studio, lots of lovely texts from the listeners, the Friday usuals like Breakfast Buffet, Travelling Tunes, and Viewmaster and to send her off. Also, the wonderful Liam K. Swiggs phones up for a chat about the Footmahi for Tāmaki Makaurau compilation! Bye bye Zoë! We will miss you!
