Well 2025 has kicked off with a bang, I am loving getting to know you all on the Afternoons Show. Particularly the opportunity to speak to those of you who live regionally, what a treat to have the company of the whole state every afternoon. And while we’ve kept some of your favourites: Sabrina Hahn answering your gardening questions on Tuesday, Claire Nichols guiding your reading on Thursday and tech advice provided by Gianni di Giovanni on Mondays, there are a host of new characters for you to meet. Every Wednesday at 2.30pm Mark Naglazas gives you his insight into the films and TV shows not to miss. On Thursdays at 2pm I take you clubbing, don’t worry I’m not dragging you on to a dance floor, instead we meet the unique and colourful characters from clubs around the state and if you are a member of a club we should know about please drop us a line jot@abc.net.au . And every Friday, Afternoon's crackpot team of professional radio personalities, Sharon Greenock and Brad Fitzgerald, help out poor souls in need of advice. Annoyed that your coworker doesn't wear shoes at work? Don't know how to tell your friend you hate share plates when you go out to dinner? Send through your dilemmas and we'll get our funny, opinionated team of non-experts to weigh in live on radio!! Importantly you can remain anonymous and we love it when you weigh in too, the number you need: 1300 222 720. What a joy it is to have the opportunity to chat with you every afternoon, already we’ve heard stories from listeners about travelling solo around the country, stories of people saving lives and lives saved, I do hope you can join us.
