Early-morning radio can feel like a comforting constant—until a sudden shake‑up leaves listeners reeling.
Behind the studio’s familiar banter, a heartfelt announcement has upended Melbourne’s top‑rated breakfast show and sparked whispers about what comes next.
Here’s why one beloved voice is stepping back, and how his decision could reshape the airwaves.
The Christian O’Connell Show faced a seismic shift when co‑host Jack Post told listeners on social media that he would leave the breakfast program after seven years.
‘It has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make in my life,’ he admitted, later adding, ‘I love this show deeply, and it has given me so much. But there is something in my gut telling me it’s time to close this chapter and write the next one.’
Post explained on air that he would present his final show this Friday without another role waiting, confessing, ‘There is no plan…and it scares me, terrifies me, but it also excites me and fills me with joy.’
He blamed the relentless early‑morning routine, saying: ‘Sometimes when you pull back, the whole thing does feel like an endurance challenge, day after day, week after week, year after year, doing these hours.’
‘Sometimes it does feel like running a marathon, and I’m just at the end of what I can give and run for this show, even though I love it so much.’
Lead host Christian O’Connell applauded the move,saying: ‘To actually have the real courage to listen to your own life and what it’s asking of you…you’ve taken a huge decision for you.’
Post, once a regular on Hamish and Andy’s radio show, reflected on their bond through social media, writing: ‘Knowing Christian has been one of the most profound relationships of my life…it is the defining friendship of my 30s, and his impact on me will last forever.’
‘I’ve so much more to say about him, but for now I will simply say: I love you, mate. Thank you for everything.’
