Triple M’s new Early Drive program featuring Lu & Jarch (Luisa Dal Din and Jack Archdale) commences nationally today, Tuesday June 10, and will air weekdays from 2pm to 4pm across the network or via the LiSTNR app.

The pair host the successful We Mean Well podcasts in Australia which has a combined social media audience of over 900,000 and more than 28 million likes on TikTok. They were part of the Nova Network up until the end of last year and, with the podcast hosted by Acast, it would be of great interest to SCA for the pair to bring it across to LiSTNR to have all their assets in the same place.

Ahead of the first show Lu said:

“I’m extremely excited and also a bit nervous, hopefully the dump button doesn’t get a good workout.”

Jarch, who’s done a bit of radio sales in the the past, added:

“Super exciting to go from the sales floor to behind the glass, it’s a bit of a 360 moment for me. Couldn’t be happier to have Lu by my side for it.”

Matthew O’Reilly, Head of Triple M Metro Content, said:

“The ideas Lu and Jarch have come in with have genuinely blown us away. They bring a fresh, funny and unpredictable energy that’s set to teach us all some new tricks about radio. Expect a chaotic, clever  and hilarious take on everyday things.”

Triple M Sydney’s Lachie Pringle will anchor the show alongside producer Ashley Kind, digital producer Lachlan Paull and Executive Producer Codie Jones. Codie was most recently part of triple j Breakfast.

Triple M’s Lu & Jarch airs from 2pm to 4pm nationwide followed by The Rush Hour with JB & Billy in the AFL states (Victoria, Adelaide, Western Australia and Tasmania), The Rush Hour with Dobbo & Elliott in Queensland and The Rush Hour with Maroon in New South Wales.
