It's the final Wednesday Wire of 2020! Today on the show we look at some of the best stories that Bronnie, Felix and Karanama have covered this year, alongside a special 'best of' Dear Science. 

Firstly, we look into some of the most interesting and outright bizaare stories from Marcus Jones and Allan Blackman on Dear Science

Then we replay Felix's report on each political parties youth policies in the build up to the October election

We then look into Bronnies interview with Michael Apathy on Climate Anxiety

Karanama then plays his interview with Tai Tupou, from the I AM HOPE foundation on bullying and mental health in schools

And finally, we re-listen to Felix's report on the leadership of former head of the National Party Todd Muller 

See you in 2021!

He came with a laptop with songs and exited with a very tasty sourdough sandwich combo. 

The Deputy Leader of the Opposition Party, National's Dr. Shane Reti, dials in for a catch up Rachel before we head into the holidays. Dr. Shane chats to Rachel about his newly appointed portfolios, a travel bubble with Australia, and the Pfizer and potential future vaccines.

It's that time of the year, where the top word lists are revealed and Amelia isn't a fan. On Word Salad this morning, Amelia shares her own list of top words of the year. From simp to poggers, we've really got everything you need for you 2020 vocabulary. 

'Chocolate Factory' by Ōtautahi punks PGX was 95bFM's 10th most played track of 2020, and this morning Hannah popped in for a chat about Petter Gutteridge, the Dunedin Sound, a new album and more! 

Rob runs us through some of the important stories and some of his personal favourites from 2020. Plus, a lovely poem to round off the year.

Today on your bFM Breakfast: Kicking the show off with our first and last chat with the National Party's Dr. Shane Reti for 2020; Rob takes us through some of the best and most concerning stories of the year; Hannah from PGX pops in for a chat bout the band and some of their most played tracks on bFM; Tim joins us to talk about the media news; and Amelia gives us her rundown of the best words of 2020.

Tim pops in with two and a half stories to share from the media, this morning. We've got plenty of redactions and a few possible law changes. 

No jingling around the holly or any such festering footleage, just the tunes and some bloke mumbling intermittently.

This week we bring you the best of the Tuesday Wire this year! 

Jemima recaps her piece on the core issues for american voters leading up to the US Presidential Election with University of Waikato politics lecturer Justin Phillips. 

Hanna covers the continuing issue that is the differing referendum provisions for Māori Wards and Local Councils. She plays her conversation with Toni Boynton from Te Rōpū Tautoko Maori about this issue.

We also run through some of our favourite pieces from 95bFM's 2020 Election Coverage, such as the "competency vs. celebrity" debate in the Auckland Central seat, whether New Zealand’s emssions targets are up to scratch, and the successful End of Life Choice referendum.
