Crawley’s back, Producer Harry’s right where he always is (in the corner of the studio, doing what he’s told) and, with the extra hour of sunlight, things were flying. We trialled a new segment, now dubbed Singles in Your Areas. Producer Harry spun three little ripper 7-inches from TeeVee Reparimann, Midnight Snaxxx and Cuticles. Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham phoned in to talk about religion in France, in light of the Pope’s recent visit. And Lou popped in for a mini rock ’n’ roll book report on the Ween Zine, put together by Dunedin’s foremost design and zine fella, Ash McFarlane. Ngā mihi to The Beer Spot.

No Mister Crawley, just producer Harry solo style this week. Jaycee popped in, and we had a yap about appropriate live performance gimmicks. The listeners seemed to think backflips were all g. We also landed on perhaps the greatest live gimmick of all time: setting a fella on fire the ol’ bFM private functions. Perhaps it’s about time for a comeback, hmmmmm? The great Izzy Robinson popped into the studio to discuss ‘Test Fest’, Basement Theatre’s new festival all about unfinished and in-the-works shows. Raw, pure th-e-a-tre! Looks like a treat. Thanks to Basement Theatre for this week’s Stage Direction. And Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham called up to chat about the history of Islam in New Zealand.
