This week Sam, Kris, and Rob take a musical journey, from the heady highs of uplifting techno to the depths of Belgium industrial and back again...not to mention all the other music, the sports report, and the Emmerdale review of course!

Today on your bFM Breakfast: We made it to Friday and what a way to celebrate with a new album from The Beths; Fabian Fanboy dials in with his top picks for the film fest; Dr. Kirsten Zemke returns to the studio for cuppa coffee and some Weeb music; Dhanuun joins us for a chat about the upcoming Empowerment Festival; Tangata Unite; Zoë returns with some theatre recommendations; another Sunday Painter teaches us about duvet painting; and Laura Borrowdale joins us in studio to chat about her book Sex, With Animals.

Fabian Fanboy gives us the lowdown on his top picks at the Whānau Mārama: New Zealand International Film Festival. From feature lengths to short films, there's something for everyone.

This week features a genre with some debate around it. Dr. Kirsten Zemke brings us Weeb music, featuring Susumu Hirasawa's The Girl In Byakkoya, Tōru “TK” Kitajima TK's unravel [from Tokyo Ghoul], and Shokotan & Dempagumi's Punch Line! Theme Song.

Laura Borrowdale's name might be familiar as the brains behind 'Aotearotica', an ongoing journal series of erotic writing and art from New Zealand and beyond. She's just written a book called 'Sex, With Animals' (the comma is important) and she popped into the studio for a chat about it.

Zoë returns with some recommendations for a show you can see in the flesh, Love from a Stranger at Howick Little Theatre. But if you're keen to stay inside, the National Theatre At Home's The Deep Blue Sea by Terence Rattigan is playing and is certainly not one to miss.

Dhanuun pops into the studio ahead of the Tangata Unite; Empowerment Festival this Saturday to chat with Rachel about For The People, and importance of creating spaces to celebrate our BIPOC communities.
