Plenty to talk about with a mayor who'd like us to 'give nothing to racism' _or_ the Team New Zealand America's Cup hosting fee. And speaking of goings on in Auckland's waters... Mayor Goff once campaigned on opposition to 'dolphin' extensions into the downtown harbour, but has now kowtowed to that particular apparent cruise ship need. How come?
We didn’t get to chat with Tracey Martin last week, so this was a bit of a catch up on a report released by Oranga Tamariki last week and the fees free tertiary announcement yesterday where she calls out David Seymour for being elitist.
Mike's switched his Kiwisaver, and Amanda is very happy for him. But what are all these fees the banks always take? Where do they go? Do we get returns? Thankfully, Amanda is here this morning to answer all our Kiwisaver queries, please help us!

From protests, to anchor fees, and speedways, His Worship has a lot on his plate this week. Do we really need to get rid of the speedway, what's a bit of noise pollution? And are we really extending the wharf with more concrete? Mayor, Phil Goff, has got the answers.
His Worship chats to Rachel about some new council policies, and these ever controversial e-scooters, how do we regulate them? Are they giving back to our infrastructure? The Mayor reckons higher fees are the solution.
Rachel chats with Rod Oram about why some are a little displeased with the weight of the Zero Carbon Bill, what's happening over in France at the Christchuch Call Summit and why the government has gone back on their no-fees policy for tertiary education.
This morning we spoke with Lukas Mayo- aka Pickle Darling- about upcoming new music, cancelling gigs dude to the blimmin' virus, and where you can cop some sick merch instead. Don't forget that from 8pm tonight until 8pm saturday 21st March there's no fee on Bandcamp so all profits go directly to the artists, a good time to spend your pocket-money on some local music!
Today on your bFM Breakfast: It's Friday and we're kicking this off with some absolute bangers; Fabian Fanboy's got a couple of streaming films to talk about; Dr. Kirsten Zemke brings a polarising genre into the light; Rachel had a chat with Phoebe Bridgers about her new album, Punisher; and Zoë's got some local selections for Stage Direction this week. Don't forget, from 7pm tonight until 7pm tomorrow, Bandcamp is donating 100% of its fee to NAACP legal defence fund. Check out this link for an ongoing list of black artists with music on Bandcamp.
After a short week and a Fee Free Friday on Bandcamp, there's a plethora of good tunes to choose from. Sarah brings us some of the tracks she's been loving this week. Featuring Kōtiro's Fuk Forever, VED's The Embrace Of The Oarfish, and Surf Friends' Good Thing.
