This week was a special one - We had Mary Lattimore & Julianna Barwick up for My Morning Mixtape ahead of their double headliner show tomorrow night with Roy Montgomery. We revisited live songs from Yuck at Laneway 2012 and played a ton of new songs including ones from Stef Chura, Sampa The Great & Flying Lotus.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Rachel, Tess and Rob are all waking up with a good chinwag and a cuppa coffee; this week on The Mind Trench, Rob's feeling a little more positive and shares some wholesome tips; Rachel talks to our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, about Kiwi-Build, KiwiRail and some proposed voting changes; and one of the curators of the World Press Photo Exhibition, Yi Wen Hsia, pops up to the studio to chat with Rachel about this years entries.
