Have you ever gotten your ears clean? Do you drive big annoying cars in defiance of Climate Change? Would you like to hear a sample of the beats playing at Flamingo Pier Waiheke? Welcome to the Drive programme for Wednesday.
We have Tim Mahon of Blam Blam Blam phone in about his guide to touring, as written on AudioCulture - and apparently, the b in bFM has changed its meaning... You're gonna have to listen to the episode and find out what it really means now.
Live from the Chris Cuffaro photo exhibition at Indigo Studios, Ponsonby - we bring you our first Drive Island for 2023 with a special performance from Reb Fountain and her band.
Steve comes in after watching When Bob Came, the legendary Brian Wafer joins us for What's Cooking, and all throughout the episode, if you must know, the crew were sipping on some very nice Peach Cider.
We gave our moon a new name - bFM apparently hired a "TV3 voice" to read the news - and people openly text in using their work plans: imagine all that money we could be making.
A very chill episode with absolutely no reference to the weather or Wayne Brown at all. Promise xx. We farewell Lewis from Sales but he may come back as a recurring character. Dr Loggcabin also comes in and takes over the decks for a full hour.
The sun came back to say hello to Auckland for once, but it didn't stop Corey from symbolically calling for 1 outs with Mayor Wayne Brown after some comments with the Herald. Also, Flicks n' That has our mate Steve Newell clapping for James Cameron achieving world dominance at the box office (again).
Sof chats with Ben Easton, Dottie Cockram and Harry Catchpole of deary (UK) ahead of releasing their debut LP Birdingvia Bella Union on April 3. The album is a curated act of care for the listener, guiding us through its ethereal, dreamy shoegaze, fuzzy guitar tones, and vocal instrumentation, all while giving us these instrumental intervals to reflect as the band considers their place in the world and the consequences of our being as people on this earth.
Birding by deary is out this Friday 3 April via Bella Union, where all good music is found.
Rosa Nevison, co-editor at Newzician Magazine came in with some recommendations after their recent nomination for NZ On Air Outstanding Music Journalism Award at the Taite Awards 2026.
Today Steve brings us some television recommendations! These include Japanese Comedy show You Laugh You Lose, Deadloch and murder series Imperfect Women.
