Merrick Watts Rode a Ducati Through the Nova Hallway!

Wed, 01 Apr 2026

Merrick Watts comes in to celebrate Nova's 25th birthday as one of the original breakfast hosts and immediately starts throwing hand grenades. His standout memory from the early days: being told he wasn't allowed to ride the station scooter, so he went downstairs, got his 1000cc Ducati, brought it up in the lift and rode it full pelt down the corridor tearing up the carpet at 7:30 in the morning. He also reveals there is a scroll sealed inside the studio wall with the names of every on-air host from day one. His name is in there. He is not allowed back in the building.

Full Show: 25 Years of Nova!

Wed, 01 Apr 2026

Wednesday's show had it all. A woman in the US escaped from the back of a police car while handcuffed by squeezing through a tiny gap in the window while the cops were getting takeaway. We spun the wheel and played Can I Have The First Line. Bruce Isaacs stopped by with his weekly Whatcha Watching recommendations. The fuel excise is sending Aussies over the edge and callers had plenty to say about it. Tim's exclusive chat with Sam Fender revealed the most unhinged 48 hours in LA history involving Paul McCartney, Elton John, Al Pacino and Disneyland, plus a long overdue apology to Sydney about Olivia Dean. And Merrick Watts came in to celebrate Nova's 25th birthday as one of the original breakfast hosts, which felt like a full circle moment for everyone.

Sam Fender Apologises to Sydney About Olivia Dean

Tue, 31 Mar 2026

Tim catches up with Sam Fender live from LA where the last 48 hours have been completely unhinged. In that time he saw Paul McCartney at an intimate 1,000 cap venue, had dinner with Elton John, got introduced to Al Pacino and somehow held himself together without mentioning they share the same birthday, and flew the Millennium Falcon at Disneyland. Rein Me In has been number one in the UK for five weeks and he spent the last three months playing PlayStation and eating pizza. A true artist. He also apologises to Sydney for not bringing Olivia Dean on stage at his ARIA show, which is all Tim wanted from this interview.

Tim Got Stuck In a Lift With 10% Battery!

Tue, 31 Mar 2026

A woman in the US was arrested, cuffed, put in the back of a police car and somehow squeezed her way out through a tiny gap in the window while the cops were inside getting takeaway. Listeners call in with their own MacGyver moments: Tim once pried open a pitch black lift with his bare hands after being stuck for an hour with 10% battery during a flood, and a bloke ran out of petrol on the highway and fashioned a leaf into a funnel to pour petrol from a Tupperware container into his car. Absolute heroes the lot of them.

Samantha Jade Almost Threw Up On Stage at Her 100th Show

Tue, 31 Mar 2026

Samantha Jade stops by to chat about her new banger and ends up revealing the story she has never told before: on the 100th show of Pretty Woman, mid performance, in full costume, wig, hat and microphone, she got the cold sweats, the salivary mouth and had to run offstage to be sick while the cover stepped in. An absolute professional. She also plays the women's edition of Sing and holds her own against Ricki, which is no small feat.
