triple j Assistant Music Director Gemma Pike, is leaving the ABC after 10 years to pursue other exciting opportunities. Gemma Pike also departs as the host of Double J program The J Files, with Caz Tran continuing as presenter after filling in for Gemma in 2021.
In 2022, Angharad Yeo joins as host of Double J Weekends. Angharad ‘Rad’ Yeo is an award-winning television presenter, video game critic, technology journalist and one of the hosts of ABC’s Good Game Spawn Point. She is also host of technology podcast Queens of the Drone Age, ABC Science’s Elevator Pitch and Rad Experiments, and ABC Listen’s How Games Play Us.
Angharad says, “In my humble (yet professional) opinion, Double J is one of the best radio stations in the country. I’m honoured to be joining a lineup of powerhouse presenting talent that I greatly admire, and a hard-working team of people who make the station so great. Music has always been such a key part of my life, and I’m totally stoked to be able to vibe with everyone over some banger tunes on a weekend.”
That means Dylan Lewis is wrapping up as Weekends host on Double J but will remain part of the Double J family and his unbridled enthusiasm will still be heard regularly across the station in 2022.
