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.

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.

Many will likely remember Sunday 13 September as the day that Auckland's city rail link opened. After nearly ten years of planning and construction, Auckland finally has an underground rail line, and many hope this will lead to a renaissance in the city. News Director Castor and Wire Producer Liam went to the opening of the CRL and caught the very first train departing at 4:57 AM from Ōtāhuhu. The passion was palpable on the day, everywhere one looked one could sense the passion of a lot of people passionate about trains and public transport. We interviewed members of the public to gauge people's feelings and hopes for the future. Liam also spoke to Viv Beck, Chief Executive for Heart of the City, about what the CRL will mean for businesses in Auckland, and to Bevan Assink, Chief Metro Officer for KiwiRail, about how the opening day went from an operational perspective and what the CRL will mean in the context of Auckland's wider rail system. Here is their report...
