triple j are saying goodbye to three presenters and introducing their replacements.

• Ebony Boadu farewells Breakfast
• Bridget Hustwaite says goodbye to Good Nights
• Declan Byrne leaves Home & Hosed

Breakfast presenter Ebony Boadu will be wrapping up her time on the show this Friday. 

Ebony began soundtracking Saturday nights on triple j’s House Party before taking over Breakfast with Bryce Mills in 2021. 

“I never pictured myself hosting breakfast radio, but I’m so grateful for all the experiences it’s allowed me to be a part of,” said Ebony. 

“From counting down the number one song in the Hottest 100, witnessing iconic Like A Versions every week to sharing my favourite new music with people all over the country.”

“Thank you for waking up with us, making me laugh and sharing in such a formative part of my life. I’ll definitely miss the people but not the 4am alarms.”

Concetta Caristo has been announced as the new triple j Breakfast co-host alongside Bryce Mills. 

The comedian, improviser and podcaster who hails from Sydney is a regular guest on SBS’ Celebrity Letters and Numbers. She has also made appearances on Channel 10’s The Cheap Seats

Bryce and Concetta will be heard on triple j Breakfast from December 5.

“I’m absolutely ecstatic to be teaming up with the hilarious and talented Bryce on my dream job of hosting triple j Breakfast,” said Concetta.

“I love connecting with people and I can’t wait to speak to listeners across the country every morning so we can get to know each other by me asking normal everyday questions like ‘do you believe in ghosts?’ and ‘what is your favourite hat?’” 

triple j Good Nights host Bridget Hustwaite is also leaving. 

Bridget cut her teeth on triple j Unearthed on DAB+ hosting TOPS before making her triple j debut on mid dawns and moving to Good Nights in 2018. 

“It’s been an absolute dream to be part of both the triple j and triple j Unearthed fam for the past seven years, but I’m ready to spread my wings, take on new opportunities and let another passionate presenter connect with the amazing music fans that tune in every night.” said Hustwaite. 

“Thank you to everyone and anyone who has ever listened and shared their favourite new releases with me. You’ve provided some epic tracks to add to my own playlist and so much joy and comfort to my evenings!” 

Latifa Tee will be the new host of Good Nights. 

Listeners will recognise Latifa from triple j’s Mix Up and The Nudge. 

“It’s been such a magical year on Mix Up and now, moving onto Good Nights, I have no words – just a whole lot of humility, gratitude and a lot of work to do,” said Latifa.

“I’m inspired and excited!” 

Declan Byrne from triple j’s Home & Hosed will be wrapping up at the end of this year. 

He found his way to triple j in 2013, presenting mid dawns and working with the Unearthed team.

In 2018, Declan began his tenure as the host of Home and Hosed where he’s given countless artists their first spin on triple j. 

“Being able to shout about new Australian music for so long has been a ridiculous privilege,” said Byrne. 

“If you told the teen working at a pizza place making dough to the sound of triple j that he’d get to host Home & Hosed, present Hottest 100’s, Splendour and everything else, he would’ve been pretty stoked and probably would’ve thrown in a free garlic bread. 

“Thanks for everything, and mostly thanks to the local artists who made my job a total dream. You’re the best!” 

Ash McGregor will take the reins of Home & Hosed in 2023. 

Listeners may know Ash as triple j’s Breakfast producer. 

“I’m incredibly excited for this new chapter presenting Home & Hosed, discovering Aussie acts, bringing them to the forefront and sharing their music with the listeners,” said Ash.
