Whether you're stuck in traffic, on your bike, or just chilling on the couch, 95bFM Drive will get you where you wanna be! Brought to you by The Beer Spot.
We get the latest blazed news from Chris in Marijuana Media, sample some tasty drinks in a double-bill edition of Cocktail Corner, and the Lo-Fi Crew visit ahead of their 5th Birthday celebration at The Mothership this weekend.
We celebrate International Brownie Day early by microwaving one in a mug, and we're joined by Aussie band, The Oogars, ahead of their tour of New Zealand in 2023.
The Drive Crew were blessed with the presence of Princess Chelsea and her band in the bFM Lounge - and Audioculture's Russell Brown pops in as we remember Hamish Kilgour of The Clean.

Toody played bass and sung in both bands alongside her husband Fred Cole, who passed away in 2017. This time around, Toody's band is comprised of Pierced Arrows bandmate Kelly Haliburton, as well as Kelly's bandmate, Christopher March, from Jenny Don't & The Spurs. Toody plays Tāmaki tonight before heading across the country and then making a final stop back at Galatos for The Others Way 2025. Whakarongo mai nei!
