Milly takes you through three hours of Drive as we remember our dear friend Jules, Chris comes up for Marijuana Media, L.A. Mitchell does a stunning live set, and Matt Thompson comes up for Cocktail Corner. A very sincere show - We love you Jules, rest well.

We also chat some good news surrounding chronic pain patients, but mainly we get excited for J Day that is just around the corner on the 7th December.
L.A. Mitchell comes up to 95bFM Drive, talking about her singing workshops for women that she is holding at the Pitt Street Methodist Church, as well as a taste of her wonderful music that she will be sharing that evening.
Matt Thomson returns from Thomson Whiskey, making Milly from 95bFM a delicious whiskey and dry, perfect for the hot day out there. He also brings up a sample of the wonderful cask 95, which they poured out in honour of the fantastic Jules. Thank you Thomson Whiskey, and thank you Jules.
