The return of former triple j Breakfast duo Matt & Alex to the land of audio has been confirmed, with radio network Southern Cross Austero announcing the duo for a new podcast.
The new show is called Matt & Alex – All Day Breakfast and it will be available each Weekday Morning on SCA’s podcast platform PodcastOne Australia, as well as all other major podcast platforms.
It’s been over three years since the pair departed triple j, during which time they became legends of the time-slot.
Their new on-demand Breakfast show sees them return to the time-slot, but in a different way, with episodes released at 6am each morning.
“I’m so excited about reconnecting with everyone who used to listen to us in the morning and even more excited about connecting with new fans who can’t stand waking up before 9.00am!” said Matt Okine.
“In a time when the nation is spending all day in their pyjamas, it’s only fitting that we offer them an all-day breakfast show to match.
Alex Dyson added that the pair have “grown as people” since leaving triple j. “Matt had his first child and I won a championship as the Chicago Bulls on NBA 2k19. I can’t wait to get back together with my radio Scottie Pippen and write a new chapter together.

“As someone who ate a cold hash brown at 3:15pm yesterday, All Day Breakfast is the show I was born to do,” Dyson added. “Instead of spreading out a breakfast show thinly over a number of hours, this will be a daily shot of the best content, ready when you want it. Like eating a glob of Vegemite directly from the knife, instead of having it wiped sparsely over toast.”
The duo will be working alongside long-time Hamish & Andy executive producer Sam Cavanagh. “I used to love listening to the boys on triple j. Can’t wait to have a front-row seat to all their ridiculous adventures,” he said.
“We are continuing to see an appetite for on-demand content and with the launch of an all-day breakfast format we are feeding that appetite,” said SCA’s Chief Content Officer, Dave Cameron.
“Matt and Alex have certainly been missed and we are pleased to be able to provide the platform that has allowed for their return!”
