Welcome back from Craig Zonca & Loretta Ryan |
|
Welcome to 2023 and happy new year! We’ve been bounding out of bed at 3am this week to bring you the radio smorgasbord that is Breakfast on ABC Radio Brisbane. It’s great to be back with the team for what is set to be a big year with so much going on around south-east Queensland. We’ll tackle the tough questions about what we can do to combat the growing pains of being one of the fastest growing areas in the country so that instead of being stuck in traffic, you’re spending time doing what you want to do. And we’ll have some fun along the way (plus solve a few personal dilemmas with you, our brainstrust!). So as you get into the swing of life, work and school in ‘23, become an early riser because as we say ‘you snooze, you lose’. Chat to you soon, Craig and Loretta |
