Hello! After being away in Oz I'm on day 12 of i-s-o-l-a-t-i-o-n so this show was put together in a secret bunker studio somewhere within the confines of Tāmaki Makaurau. I'm still working on adding voice breaks so I can tell you what it is that is transmitting via the good ship bFM, but until then it's just you and the music.
