After a short break to create life and nurture triple j’s youngest listener, we’re thrilled to welcome Veronica Milsom back to the triple j Drive show, Veronica & Lewis, on Mon 23 July.
Eager to get stuck back into the program, Veronica says “I can’t wait to be back at triple j. For me, the sooner I exchange baby spew rags for tune rags the better.”
Huge thanks to Gen Fricker for filling in for Veronica on Drive this year, bringing us incredible content like her priceless Charli XCX parody ‘Thinking ‘Bout Dogs’ and engaging triple j listeners to help Gen & Lewis get their very own billboard in Tasmania.
With thanks to Gen, long-time friend and radio co-host Lewis Hobba muses “If I’d known that Gen joining the show would result in 9 months of non-stop savagery and lies about my character I would have flat-out refused to work with her. But I’m so glad I didn’t because we’ve had so much fun on and off air and I’m excited that she’s going to keep popping by as a regular guest after 3pm to keep being a very funny pain in my arse”.
As for Gen, she’s very proud of what she’s accomplished throughout her time on Drive saying “I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to meet the intellectual tone and high level of discussion of the triple j Drive show. Unfortunately, I didn’t take up that opportunity and will now live with the fact I spent the last nine months dumbing down the nation and spreading misinformation about Lewis. I regret nothing.”
Gen will slide back into her regular Lunch shift on Mon 23 July, but will continue her comedic banter on Drive as a regular special guest on Veronica & Lewis. Plus she’ll be working on online comedy content for triple j, which we’re really excited to see unfold. Chicken Fight anyone?
With Gen back in the Lunch hawt seat, it means we say farewell to everyone’s fave ‘Sesh Gremlin’ Alex ‘Dyso’ Dyson who wrap’s up his stint presenting Lunch. Tune in to his last show this Fri 22 June, which happens to be the crumb’s birthday, as he puts together his very own Friday Mix. Here’s hoping for back to back ‘Sandstorm’!
Finally, your Weekend Brekkie bestie Stacy Gougoulis, will cover Lunch for four weeks until Gen Fricker returns to the show full time on Mon 23 July.
