This is mildly amusing banter at its mildly amusing best! We’re Jono Pryor, Ben Boyce, and Megan Papas—your favourite breakfast trio on The Hits. We bring you weekday mornings full of life misadventures, big interviews, fun games, and plenty of LOLs. OK, we can’t promise LOLs, but hopefully, you stopped reading after we said LOLs the first time.

  • Love having Megan back on air

    Was a long time FVM listener, wasn’t the same when Megan left so stopped listening and love that I’ve now found this. Such a great dynamic between the 3 of you, just need to get Megan’s name in the title lads, don’t drag this out like the last lot did lads.

WARNING: Zach Zucker’s First-Ever Radio Interview Goes Completely Off The Rails
Q: Was the mayo-on-stage moment planned or spontaneous?
Not planned. It happened during opening night with a school group; I improvised and the crowd reacted wildly, which actually became a defining, memorable moment of the night.
WARNING: Zach Zucker’s First-Ever Radio Interview Goes Completely Off The Rails
Q: Is this your first radio interview you've ever done?
Yes, this is my first radio interview in about 13 years, and I'm thrilled but also a bit nervous because radio can be hard to convey the energy of a live show without visuals.
