Triple M Brisbane names Cornelius Mendez as EP of The Rush Hour With Leisel Jones, Liam & Dobbo

Triple M Brisbane has welcomed the appointment of Cornelius 'Con' Mendez as the executive producer of The Rush Hour With Leisel Jones, Liam & Dobbo.

Triple M Brisbane's content director Jamie Angel said Con was a terrific addition to the team, having worked at BBC 1 and 2, and at XFM and talkRADIO in the UK, and more recently as the breakfast producer at 4BC.

"Con comes complete with some hardware for the mantelpiece, having won comedy.co.uk’s Best Radio Entertainment Show award for You're Dead To Me, as well as twice winning the UK Radio Academy’s 30 and Under title (2016 and 2018)," Angel said.

Triple M’s Rush Hour with Leisel, Liam and Dobbo talks to sports lovers in South East Queensland about the topics and stories that matter.

It is quintessentially Queensland, delivering a great mix of entertainment, sport and a rocking soundtrack to get listeners home with a laugh right across Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

The show stars Queensland’s nine-time Olympic medal winner Leisel Jones along with Triple M NRL commentator and the man with sport’s biggest black book, Ben ‘Dobbo’ Dobbin, and Australia’s leading sports podcaster and host of The Scorecard, Liam Flanagan.

Triple M’s Rush Hour with Leisel, Liam and Dobbo is back on 104.5 Triple M Brisbane and 92.5 Triple M Gold Coast from 4 pm to 6 pm, Monday to Friday.

This comes as Leisel Jones marks since joining the station to host Triple M’s Rush Hour last year.

Jones said at the time: "I'm looking forward to sharing stories, commenting on current events and my obvious love for everything sport.

"Radio is a true passion of mine and I can’t wait to work with Dobbo and Liam. Queensland has always been home for me and growing up in this glorious state means I’m talking to my own people, people I know."
