Fabian joins us live in studio as, instead of Tinsel Town, catching up with Mike over the memories that 95bFM bring and the latest film releases, Bumblebee, Aquaman, and Bird Box. But which films are worth our while, Fabian?
Belle and Tui from Dance Plant Collective join Rachel in studio for a chat about First Thursday's, the wintery event on Karangahape Road that we're all looking forward to. The pair talk contemporary dance, light boxes (shout out to Tui's Dad) and guest dancers in their collective. You can catch them at Cross Street tomorrow night at First Thursday's or later in July at Tūrama Festival.
Jason Payn from The Beer Spot visits the bFM studio with two boxes of brews in hand, to guest select some tunes and chat about The Beer Festival. Taking place at the Cloud, Friday 6th & Saturday 7th of November.
Local elections are in their final stretch, with a little under 24 hours to go before voting officially closes.
Postal ballots were closed last Tuesday, however you can still vote by putting your envelope into a ballot box available near Countdown supermarkets, libraries, and various other places.
The voter turnout this year has been grim, with lower levels of voter turnout across Auckland especially amongst younger people.
Many have criticised the way the local government elections have been rolled out, with issues of voting papers not turning up or too many barriers to voting.
Liam spoke to city councillor Pippa Coom about the local elections, why they’re important, and why there's been such a low turnout.
Playlist is also available here for streaming on spotify and updates weekly. (But if you listen and like, please consider supporting on bandcamp / otherwise <3)
See you beautiful creatures next week, thank you always for supporting bFM 💚
