Nova 100’s new Breakfast team of Jase & Lauren officially went to air for the first time this morning, and it’s been an incredible build up, in more ways than one.

Before the studio mics were even switched on today, the show had already topped the Apple Podcast charts in Australia, after the team released a number of bonus episodes in the lead up to their first show.

In the podcast eps, Jase talks about getting familiar with new producer Brodie, Lauren makes demands for their new office (she doesn’t want a desk, just a reclining armchair) and – along with Clint Stanaway  – they talk about those dreaded early morning wake up calls:

Jase: So look, we are getting ready show number one tomorrow.

Clint: Yes!

Lauren: Don’t! I’m so nervous I’m not gonna wake up!

Jase: Oh first to sleep in! You don’t want to be …  for me it’s okay because I live just down the road.

Clint: You two slept in every second day towards the back end our reign at the other joint!”

Jase & Lauren can be heard from 6am to 9am on Nova 100 in Melbourne. Listeners can stream the show live or catch up with the daily podcast by downloading the Nova Player.
