5B DRINK SPIKING AWARENESS WITH PEACH OLIVE THE FOUNDER OF DRINKERBELL (21 JULY 26)

Last Wednesday, for Drink Spiking Awareness Day, we opened this conversation through Bet You Can’t Find. And what came back from you was not just a collection of stories. It was a pattern. People who believed something had happened to them, but never reported it. Friends who watched someone become disoriented far too quickly, but did not know what to do. And one very uncomfortable truth: drink spiking does not only happen in packed clubs or at massive festivals. So this morning, we are following that conversation further. Not to frighten anyone. Not to deliver a lecture before your next night out. But to understand what the risk actually looks like, why so much of it goes unreported, and what friends, venues and event organisers can do before something goes wrong.  Joining us is Peach Piche, also known as Peach Olive, the founder of Drinkerbell. Peach, good morning and welcome to 5 Breakfast.

5B MANDELAPALOOZA WITH ALASTAIR AND GARETH (17 JULY 26)

Tomorrow is Mandela Day, and while a lot of people will be asking, “What can I do with my 67 minutes?”, we’ve got a slightly louder answer for you. Guitars. Drums. Big hearts. And probably at least one person in the crowd pretending they know every lyric. Tomorrow night is MandelPalooza -our fundraising event in support of Baby Sacha and her family  happening at Bailey’s in Bedfordview, with Shortstraw, Black Cat Bones and CrashCarBurn all on the lineup. And because we are nothing if not committed to making Friday morning feel like a backstage pass, we’ve got some of the humans responsible for the noise, the gees and the goodness in studio with us this morning. From Shortstraw and Black Cat Bones, welcome to 5 Breakfast. We’re going to talk about tomorrow night, why the bands jumped in, what people can expect, and because they didn’t come here just to sit in chairs and be emotionally available; they’ll also be performing for us live in studio.   So, coffee up, volume up. MandelPalooza starts early this morning.
