Matt & Alex go for bronze in new national Triple M show

Triple M is launching a new national show with Matt Okine and Alex Dyson at the helm.

Starting this Monday, Matt & Alex Going For Bronze will go to air across the Triple M Network, as the hosts serve up a daily recap of all the twists, tales, and tumbles from on and off the field at this year’s Paris Games.

Joined by Olympian Georgie Parker and welcoming an array of special guests from across the country and the world, Going For Bronze will bring the boys’ unique comedic perspective to the world’s biggest sporting event with various highlights, behind-the-scenes banter, sketches, songs, and memorable moments, all whilst keeping listeners updated on the medal tally.

Borrowing from the name Mick Molloy and Billy Birmingham created for the Sydney 2000 Games, Matt and Alex will talk about all things ‘Games adjacent’ for the daily one-hour national show.

Matt says “As someone who once came dead last in a high jump competition because I failed to clear the opening height, it feels only right that I would be gifted a platform to judge and critique the world’s greatest athletes.”

Alex adds “Going for Bronze will combine my two loves: talking about elite sports, and only working every 4 years. I can’t wait for the starter’s pistol to fire.”

 Head of Triple M Metro Content Matthew O’Reilly says “For the next two weeks the eyes of the world will be focused on Paris and the amazing athletic achievements, so having Matt and Alex host Going For Bronze is the perfect pairing of sport and comedy.”

When they aren’t going for bronze, Matt and Alex host the Matt & Alex All Day Breakfast podcast on LiSTNR.

Going For Bronze will be heard 12pm-1pm Monday-Friday across the Triple M network, starting on Monday 29 July through to Friday 9 August.
