We started the show off with a good yarn with 95bFM alumni and veeeeery talented musician Beth Torrance about her brand-spanking-new EP, ‘Your Favourite.' Spoiler alert: it rips!

Monday Crawley Drive (or MCD, as they sometimes call it) is here once more! Hurrah! We workshopped a few ideas, with help from those listening along live, for new names for the Monday Drive. The Marvelous Monday Matinee and Rambling Ramblers were some favourites but, ultimately, the whole discussion really helped put a new coat of polish on an old pair of shoes. We came to appreciate Monday Drive for its simple beauty and decided to stick with it after all. We caught up with Laika, who talked about a couple of pretty cracker shows she'd caught over the last couple of weeks. We also chatted to the always insightful Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham about religion and football. And Matthew presented a very special, slickly edited interview with none other than Matt Berry, who's just put out an absolute rager of a jazz album, Everything's Peachy. Thanks heaps The Beer Spot.

It's Crawley Monday, and Matthew and Harry are back! It's all happening at 95bFM--the move is in progress, and this week we're broadcasting from the transitory schtudio. We battled a bit, but it wouldn't be a true blue Monday Drive without a bit of battling, and we always make it through in the end. Matariki weekend was festive for both of us. We fawned over the fantastical Exploding Rainbow Orchestra performance on Sunday, and Harry made a spooky goblin lighter cover. The multitalented Fen Ikner joined us for a chat. Fans of ripper Kiwi tunes will recognise Fen as one quarter of Lips. What you may not know is that Fen is also one whole of a man with a rich past, including a stint in the Buffalo-based post-hardcore supergroup Knife Crazy, who are releasing their second album 20 years in the making! Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham joined us with another fascinating topic: religion in North Korea. Mr Matthew Crawley also paid a short and sweet tribute to the late Sam Neill. Rest in peace. Ngā mihi The Beer Spot.

Currently, some very big Bildungsroman vibrations. Professor Emeritus Peter Lineham, of course, joined us for That's The Spirit. Who would've guessed it, the Southern Baptists are up to some heinous shit again. Eeek!
