This week, the Wire with Christina kicked off with a Dear Science Nobel Prize special with Joel Rindelaub.

Christina also spoke to Dr Shane Reti from the National Party for their weekly segment, where they discussed meningitis and a bill to reduce alcohol harm

In the wake of last week’s poll results on whether Aotearoa should become a republic, Christina spoke with the New Zealand Republic campaign chair Lewis Holden.

She also spoke to Dr Roshini Peiris-John about her study on the impacts of skin tone on racial discrimination.

And earlier on Breakfast, the b farewelled Auckland Mayor Phil Goff as he prepares to retire from politics. Jess takes us all the way back to the outgoing mayor's very first bFM Breakfast interview with Mikey Havoc in 2017.
