Today on your bFM Breakfast: We made it to Friday and what a way to celebrate with a new album from The Beths; Fabian Fanboy dials in with his top picks for the film fest; Dr. Kirsten Zemke returns to the studio for cuppa coffee and some Weeb music; Dhanuun joins us for a chat about the upcoming Empowerment Festival; Tangata Unite; Zoë returns with some theatre recommendations; another Sunday Painter teaches us about duvet painting; and Laura Borrowdale joins us in studio to chat about her book Sex, With Animals.
More newbies from Free DIrt records and a scour around bandcamp. 80's gems from Willie Deville and Bob Dylan. A killer, killer version of the Clash's Straight to Hell by Betse Ellis. Earlier Marlon and Reb, Emily Fairlight and a shit ton more.
The good deputy brings you a selection of songs that are heavy on story. Including Paul Kelly, Robert Earle Keen, Frank Black and The Catholics, The Pogues, Evan Dando, Eilen Jewel and more.
Drawing winter to a close, Kris and Rob (and Pearl from 5:30) return after a rude root canal catastrophe prevented last week's show, and a few of the listenership kindly share some of their own dental distasters.
Rob fires up Sport and Emmerdale (now also uploaded as its own segment), and the crew are all happy to welcome back the Prodigal Son of Beer, Finn Dingle, who joins them for the 16Tun Flagon Wagon beer review.
This week, Theo spoke to Lucinda Birch about the artist publication Somewhere Else, and Karen Rubado about her Melanie Roger exhibition soft ware. We also went down some musical rabbit holes, listening to selections from Lost in the Stars (The Music of Kurt Weill), and David Byrne's Sounds from True Stories.
A cruisy start to Artbank this week, with a bit of Jay-Z and Yellow Magic Orchestra, before Susanna Andrews comes into the studio to cover recent publishing news. Theo and Susanna discuss the nominees for the PANZ Book Design Awards, the popularity of family history as a subject in writing, and what Susanna has been reading. Later in the show, Ian Wedde joins Theo to talk about his latest book The Little Ache: a German notebook, and the rich research and observation within.
Sam and Kris are rejoined by their long lost co-host Mr Rob Bollox in the flesh. They cover some real sport, and real Emmerdale, and Sam gets into some protest music that remains just as relevent today in these troubled times.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: It's Friday eve, and we're kicking into gear for the weekend; Rod Oram dials in to give us some Political Commentary on the latest in Aotearoa; Nat talks BBQ's, from charcoal to corn on the cob; Green Grove pops in for a chat about his new EP, Of Isthmus; and Troy's got a bag of all sorts From The Crate this morning.
