The answer was 'five', folks. Snip away.

In City Counselling this week, Mary-Margaret caught up with Pippa Coom. They discussed several different issues, from Level 3 and the role that council plays, how council has responded internally to COVID, and if Auckland Transport should be taking this time to roll out better cycling infrastructure.

Mary-Margaret caught up with the Drug Foundation’s Ross Bell, who actually announced his resignation this morning. Ross discussed whether or not the electoral commission’s campaigning has been sufficient at informing voters about the choice they will make at the referendum.

First up, we hear from Ross Bell of the New Zealand Drug Foundation, about how the election date change could affect the cannabis referendum

Producer Ollie Joblin joins us over the phone for another instalment of The Week That Was

And in City Counselling, Mary-Margaret speaks to Auckland Councillor Pippa Coom, about Level 3, and how it impacts council proceedings, as well as climate change committee meetings

Mike, William and Gerrit from Future Islands dial in for a chat with Rach about the exciting news of their new album, As Long As You Are. After releasing the singles Thrill, and For Sure, the band catch up with us about what we can expect from the new record and how 2020 has been for them. Chuck October 9th in your diaries, you don't want to miss this release!

Sam watched Dollface (2019-), and it's safe to say he's pretty lukewarm about the whole thing. The narrative follows a young woman after a break-up in her quest to find security in old friendship. A classic story, one to watch if you don't have much else to watch.

Red Dirt, a genre Rach and Tess are not hugely familiar with, lucky we've got Dr. Kirsten Zemke to enlighten us. Featuring Jimmy Lafave's Red Dirt Roads at Night, Cross Canadian Ragweed's Sick And Tired, and Turnpike Troubadours' Gin, Smoke, Lies.

Fabian's reviewing a film that might be the best release of the year, big call but definitely justified. Lucky enough to watch an early release of I'm Thinking of Ending Things (2020), Charlie Kaufman's new film, Fabian reckons this one has knocked it outta the park. Definitely one to watch when it comes out next week. 

Today on your bFM Breakfast: That's right, it's Friday and we're definitely feeling pretty festive about it; Fabian Fanboy can't stop thinking about a fantastic film he watched; Dr. Kirsten Zemke takes us into the world of Red Dirt; Diggy Dupé joins us to celebrate the release of his new album; Sam's got a TV show that's watchable; and Rachel chats to Future Islands about their new single. Happy Friday!
