Time to herd your sheep because it's 100% NZ Music week here at bFM. On top of this, I add my own flare of having 100% NZ memes only. Shane The Trucker joins us for Convoy Corner, Taiwere and Freddy of Arabia drop their mixtapes and compete in bFMs first ever freestyle of the day.
The Dawns bring high youthful rock pop energy during Fancy New Band in the first hour, and join Jade in the second hour as they wind down and discuss their moving woes and share stressful moving and flatting stories with the listeners.
