Today on your bFM Breakfast: We're diving straight into some politics with Morgan Godfrey this morning; apparently Tess loves the oven, talking roasting on Tesscipes; we chat to Repulsive Woman, all the way from Manchester, about winning the Auckland Live Best Independent Debut; PolyHill joins us with a brand new track ahead of her new EP; and Amelia gives us a run down of the Top Ten. Nothing like a bit of ABBA to warm you up, eh?

Mayor Brown' draft for the annual 2023/24 budget includes drastic cuts for the arts. The plan is to stop regional grants for arts, events, community recreation and heritage. 8 million in total. And the removal of 20 million from community and social development programmes, which includes art events, education programmes and community programmes.
Daniel spoke with Lauren Whitney general manager of New Zealand comedy trust, an organisation that produces the New Zealand international comedy festival and supports the comedy industry.
Daniel also spoke with Mark Harvey who is part of Arts Makers Aotearoa, which was formed by a group of arts makers who are concerned about the lack of support for the arts in this country and he is also part the creative arts industries faculty at the university of auckland
Lastly Daniel spoke with Cat Ruka the executive director of Basement Theater.
We spoke about the impact of these plans on the city of auckland and the consequences these plans will have for individual and community wellbeing and mental health. And what is exactly the intrinsic value of art?
Term 1 done and dusted! Onwards, to chocolate and slippers! Thanks so much to the Hollywood Cinema for giving us family passes to two GREAT family movies!
