DYLAN LEWIS
joins Double J
as Weekends presenter
.
.
We’re rapt to announce that Dylan Lewis is taking over as host of Double J Weekends from 9am – 12pm every Saturday and Sunday from 18 July until the end of the year.
Dylan is one of Australia’s funniest, most unique and brilliant broadcasters. We first fell in love with Dylan when he hosted Recovery and The 10.30 Slot in the late-90s. Since then he’s hosted Video Hits, conquered Celebrity Big Brother, and is an ACRA awarded radio host for his work on NOVA. You’ve also heard Dylan on the Double J airwaves recently, filling in for Tim Shiel on Arvos, as well as hosting Mornings over summer. He’s renowned for bringing his musical insights and sense of silliness to everything he does, and we can’t wait to hear him on Double J Weekends.
Excited to get stuck in, Dylan Lewis says “I bloody love Double J. It feels like Aunty designed it just for me! It plays the music I love, and the presenters are all passionate about the music in the way I am. I feel very lucky and proud to be a part of the Double J family again. I’m home. I started out twenty-five years ago at the ABC doing a music show on a Saturday morning – and now I’m back on the weekends doing it again. Pretty neat huh?!”
As we welcome Dylan Lewis, we wave a temporary farewell to music aficionado and host of both The J Files and the Inside The Big Day Out podcast, Gemma Pike. Gemma is taking a break to welcome a brand new music fan into the world, and will be back with more of the music you love in 2021.
Stepping up to take over The J Files at 8pm every Thursday for the rest of 2020 will be Caz Tran. Caz is one of the country’s best music journos and historians of Australian music. Having been with the triple j family for almost 20 years, Caz hosted Super Request, Home & Hosed, Lunch and Weekend Breakfast on triple j, before taking the reins as your Double J Weekends presenter since the station’s inception six years ago.
So while Caz Tran hands the Double J Weekends mic to Dylan Lewis for the remainder of the year, you can catch her incredible music story-telling on both The J Files and Classic Albums.
Get your music fix on Double J via the triple j app, digital radio, on Channel 200 on your digital TV and online at doublej.net.au

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
