Triple M adds podcasters for national early drive show

Triple M has launched a new national early drive show, Lu & Jarch, hosted by Luisa Dal Din and Jack Archdale, which begins airing today, Tuesday 10 June. The program will broadcast weekdays from 2pm to 4pm across the Triple M network, expanding the station’s comedy and lifestyle content offering.

The move sees Dal Din and Archdale bring their comedic commentary and conversational style to mainstream radio.

The duo rose to prominence through their podcast We Mean Well, one of Australia’s fastest-growing audio properties, and now count over 900,000 followers across platforms and more than 28 million TikTok likes.

SCA is positioning the show as a natural extension of Triple M’s brand, aligning with its established sport and comedy pillars. Lu & Jarch aims to capture a younger, digitally fluent demographic while retaining the network’s broad appeal.

Meet the team

Luisa Dal Din, originally from New Zealand and now a prominent voice in Australian media, brings a background in radio production and digital content to the role. Her social media following includes 176,000 on Instagram and 378,000 on TikTok.

Jack Archdale, whose content draws heavily on rural Australian life, has cultivated an audience through his satirical characters and cultural observations. He boasts over 371,000 TikTok followers and 175,000 on Instagram.

Triple M’s Lu & Jarch

Ahead of the launch, Dal Din commented: “I’m extremely excited and also a bit nervous, hopefully the dump button doesn’t get a good workout. Very much looking forward to starting on the Triple M airways on Tuesday.”

Having previously worked in radio sales, Archdale said "Super exciting to go from the sales floor to behind the glass, it’s a bit of a 360 moment for me. Couldn’t be happier to have Lu by my side for it."

A fresh approach

Matthew O’Reilly, Head of Triple M Metro Content, said the pair’s creative approach stood out immediately. “The ideas Lu and Jarch have come in with have genuinely blown us away,” he said.

“They bring a fresh, funny and unpredictable energy that’s set to teach us all some new tricks about radio. Expect a chaotic, clever and hilarious take on everyday things.”

The program represents SCA’s continued investment in transitioning successful digital-first talent into traditional broadcast formats, reflecting broader trends across the Australian media landscape.
