Craig's been doing some late night emailing... to the bank. Will they help him buy a house? (Watch this space.) Feat. such pertinent home-ownership based questions as: How much loan is too much loan? Why do some apartments seem cheaper than they are in long-term reality? What percentage of your income should you dedicate to repayments? Should we all just go camping instead?
Brought to you by Simplicity - NZ's fastest growing KiwiSaver plan.
Journalist, filmmaker, producer, and apparent Louis Theroux variant (to the unimaginative on Twitter, at least), David Farrier drops in to the studio to talk about his brand new Netflix series, Dark Tourist. Sadist horror houses, nuclear radiation sites, murder tours... Mike's hooked. But is there anything left for Season Two?
His Worship returns. Reuniting with Mike over his glorious trip to Japan, that ol' (new) city rail link, his wages, and Aucklanders favourite topic; housing. Nice to have you back, Mayor.
Pennie's got an exciting guest joining us, her idol, even. Kristine Crabb joins Pennie and Mike to chat about her musical inspiration, from ~romantic~ heavy metal, to house and electronic. And perhaps even some Miss Crabb for men, Mike's interested.
A busy Mayor returns this week, he assures us he always have time for bFM. Awww. Mike catches up with what's been going on for His Worship; AirBnB, housing plans and our beloved Avondale markets. What's the deal, Phil?
Jennifer Curtin catches up with Mikey about all sorts of political happenings in the last week; covering our Pacific neighbours, Nauru, Phil Twyford's comments about Auckland Council's housing plans; and another politician using their personal email. Sigh.
How can we make sense of the Trump Administration? What do the latest revelations from inside the White House mean within the wider context of US politics and political history? Maria Armoudian discusses what is going on with George C. Edwards III, Jeremi Suri, and David Stebenne.
His Worship dials in with bFM to catch up with Mike about all his concerns this morning. This 1080 stuff, is it _really_ bad? And what about those fire trucks? And the housing? And the cruise ships? Ooooh yep, there's a lot to cover with the Mayor this week.
It's been a busy week for His Worship, yikes! From the 1080 drop, to a big ol' loan from the government for the housing, the fuel tax (because we've never talked about that before, right?) and public transport. Another Tuesday with the Mayor and Tess, nice.
