Jess Perkins will replace Bryce Mills on triple j’s Weekend Afternoons.
Triple j told
Radio Today Perkins already had a huge history with the network, having filled in on just about every program. Her segments have included ‘Dog Acts‘ and ‘Simply The Jess’t‘.
Plus, triple j said, she’s a successful stand-up comedian and has her own podcast,
Do Go On.
Perkins said she was super excited to take on the role.
“It’s a dream gig for me and one I never really expected to get the opportunity to do, so I’m over the moon,” she said. “I’ve had such a great time over the past few years at triple j, doing Mid-Dawns and mucking around with Hobba and Hing on Drive. I feel so lucky to have the chance to be keeping the audience company all weekend.”
