Jo Spargo joins ABC Radio Hobart Breakfast | One pot lemon orzo pasta

Hey there, I'm Jo Spargo

I will be waking up with you on ABC Radio Hobart Breakfast while Ryk Goddard is on long service leave.

I’m normally walking on the beach with my dogs listening to Ryk on Breakfast so it’s a real treat to be able to share my morning with you (and the dogs have appreciated the sleep in so far).

The stories that stop me in my tracks are the ones that come from the heart, and I want to bring you more of those on breakfast. I am eternally curious and love science stories; things that make you get outside and appreciate the beautiful place we live in as well as anything that connects us as a community.

I can't wait to spend our mornings together from Monday to Friday on ABC Radio Hobart Breakfast.
