Today on your bFM Breakfast: We're packed to the rafters with music, politics and a cheeky bit of theatre. Deputy leader of the opposition, Paula Bennett, phones in; Rob's talking Saint Valentine and bugs with braids, LEAO is this week's 'Short Player', Amos from Index records and Fray Mysterio swing by for a chat, Tim's got some thoughts on 'yoof' media, and Michael Hurst pops in to talk about his play at the Fringe festival.
Just when you thought they were out, they pulled themselves back in! Annabel and Callum are back with some hot tunes, chats and chugs… of whisky? On tonight’s show, after some international music gossip care of Dr. Jonathan Pearce, we were treated to some real kooky characters’ thoughts about nuts; then we tried out the 21 year old Glenfarclas single malt, the second in the infamous Whisky Business trilogy… all while playing the biggest songs in the nation as voted by you! Nuts.
How about it? It’s the 95bFM Top 10 with Annabel and Callum! On this week's show, Dr. Jonathan Pearce swings for the fences with some wild chart predictions; Annabel seeks medical advice live on the radio; we drink some delicious smokey Thomson whisky, care of our whisky Godmother; and whilst announcing the number one song, special guest Taylor tries to squeeze his quiz all over our show… (if you know what I mean), all while counting down the biggest songs in the nation!
This week Theo spoke to Sandy Gibbs about her RM Gallery exhibition The paradox of failure: sport, competition, and contemporary art. Later on Dominic Hoey talked about the poetry night he's put together at the Gus Fisher gallery, and Theo played a really long Don Cherry song.
I tēnei ata kei te Hōtaka Parakuihi: We roll in hot from the 2021 Taite Music Awards with an awesome package with the nominees and winners from last night; Rob Bollix chats shape-shifting, classist ants in the Mind Trench; Tim Batt gives us a rundown on the Samoan election and big ol' funds for journalism in Aotearoa in Mediabatt; and Amelia D'Screte gives us a whole damn history lesson in Word Salad while chatting about conlangs! Whakarongo mai, and a big congrats to everyone involved with the Taites!
We catch up with Kim Boyd frow the Estuary Art Centre - they have a new exhibition of treasures called "NINGYŌ: Art and Beauty of Japanese dolls", and we find out what the show entails.
