In this episode, we discuss the move of Intern Pete from KIIS 1065 breakfast to Gold, where he’ll work alongside Christian O’Connell.

Will ARN look to replace him on KIIS or do they have other plans? The KIIS breakfast line-up continues to evolve, with new guests entering the ring, we discuss whether the line-up is close to completion with a crew of familiar voices being the pathway forward post Kyle and Jackie O.

And the burning question - when will Kyle’s new project land and what will it sound like? We’ll share some thoughts and insights from inside the Sandilands inner circle on what might happen next.
