Podcast The Hot Breakfast

The Hot Breakfast is an Australian breakfast radio show that broadcasts weekday mornings from 6 am to 9 am AEST on Triple M Melbourne. It commenced broadcasting on Monday, 7 September 2009.

The hosts are Eddie McGuire, former Western Bulldogs player Luke Darcy and comedian Mick Molloy.[1] Previous hosts included Mieke Buchan and Tony Moclair.

Format

The Hot Breakfast format is based on the Grill Team format pioneered by Triple M Melbourne in the early 1990s, merging sport, comedy and music with a more talkback style of radio.

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Victorian Premier John Brumby were the first guests on the show.

Steve Vizard filled in for McGuire for two weeks whilst McGuire was hosting the Nine Network's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Mick Molloy filled in for Luke Darcy in October 2010 while he was hosting the 2010 Commonwealth Games and joined the show permanently in 2011.[2]
