Tonight's show was actually entirely curated by bFM's own Samuel Harmony, who sent Oto and Jaycee, not just a playlist, but a stack of CDs and Casettes that he collected while he was in Indonesia as part of the New Zealand Delegation attending AXEAN Festival 2025. Whakarongo mai to experience 2 hours of Psych rock, folk, disco and more by Southeast-Asian artists playing at the festival!

This week on the show, Ximena, Will & Reuben are back with a tonne of great stories for ya, everything from hospitality workers demanding more pay to the media’s influence on mental health. AUT’s Allan Blackman joins the team for Dear Science, chatting today about how ISIS are apparently not very “smart” for failing to build a dirty bomb, as well as about the dangerous mislabelling of ‘synthetic cannabis’. NZ First’s Tracey Martin also has a chat with Ximena about a new survey that shows high living costs are driving significant numbers of teachers away from Auckland.
Dan from Talulah blends up an absoultely magic number for Jonny & Big Hungry.

Amid the coldest part of every year, in the early hours of the morning, Ngā mata a te ariki Tawhirimātea, or Matariki for short, rises in the east, with a gleam rivalled only by the Sun which follows close behind. Matariki is the Māori name for a group of seven stars known as the Pleiades star cluster. Tuwhenuaroa Natanahira explores its significance to Maori, why it is celebrated, and the impact it has on the nation.
2025 saw the highest rise in ocean temperatures since modern measurements began, marking a worrying increase in the pace of the climate crisis. Ocean temperature measurements are one of the most accurate measures of climate change, and have significant impacts on multiple ecological factors, including weather.
To discuss rising ocean temperatures and what they mean for the world, News Director Castor spoke to one of the authors on the paper discussing the findings, distinguished scholar at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, and honorary faculty member at the Department of Physics at the University of Auckland, Kevin Trenberth, about rising ocean temperatures and the potential ramifications.
