We almost feel like this does not need to be said but as much as we love love here on the Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie show we have a Community Service Announcement: do NOT fall in love with A.I. controversial take, we know. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
With Out of Context Kate being retired for the moment, of course the boys had to pick up the slack and say some questionable things this week and we debut Out of Context Fitzy & Wippa today! Enjoy the highs (and lows) of Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie this week! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Sydney 2GB is No 1 station just ahead of smooth 95.3. Ben Fordham is No 1 for GB on breakfast, Kyle and Jackie O No 1 FM. Smooth’s Bogart Torelli and Jonesy and Amanda on Gold 101.7 saw the biggest losses and the biggest gains were for triple j off the back of the Hottest 100 and for Nova 96.9, bearing in mind that Kate Ritchie has been on personal leave from breakfast with Fitzy and Wippa since early Feb. Mark Levy who took over from Ray Hadley on 2GB Mornings when Ray retired last year held on to No 1 spot. Melbourne, 3AW is a long way ahead at No 1 and for Ross and Russ on breakfast. No 1 FM breakfast belonged to Christian O’Connell who was up most of all and overtook Fifi Fev and Nick at the fox and Jase and Lauren at Nova 100 along the way. RSN 927 apparently will not feature in GfK surveys in 2025. Radioinfo has reached out to the station for comment. Brisbane – b105 retains No 1 overall and on breakfast. Marto Margaux and Dan at triple M have closed the gap though. Adelaide Triple M moved further in front at the top but strangely had a 2.1% drop on breakfast for Roo, Ditts and Loz. I expect that to change when survey 2 and AFL seasons are included. A massive congrats to Sonya and Jules on ABC Adelaide breakfast, up 2.8 and going from 5th to second behind the triple M team. And finally Perth where nova 93.7 and Nath, Nat and Shaun on breakfast are as unassailable as Russ and Ross on 3AW in Melbourne. Nath, Nat and Shaun were up 3.6% to a 19.8% audience share. 96FM’s Clairsy and Lisa were also up 1.5 to 12.6 in second. Jen Seyderhelm also explores the weekly reach results (cume) and the digital station results in this special boinus podcast episode of the Radio Today Podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's right, 2-time Gold Logie award winning Kate Ritchie really channelled what it would be like to be a cat on heat and gave us a masterful performance. Almost got a standing ovation from everyone in the studio. Ava Max was in and told us this is the first time she has been single over Christmas, singles of Australia, I think you know what to do. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
One of Hamish's oldest and dearest friends finally sits down on the HODD couch for a well overdue chat. Wippa and Hame talk all the time, but not often about the deep stuff that drives them to be better dads. In a conversation that is equal parts serious and silly, Hame and Wip discuss the formative impact of Wip's own dad, dealing with big questions children unexpectedly ask, how Wip tries to show his kids that nothing is impossible, and why setting out to build a birdhouse that ultimately becomes home to a rare rat is still a massive win for the family. Oh, and they laugh a lot. At times because Wip has told a funny story, but more often because he has told an entirely inappropriate story with explicit language to match. Apologies in advance. We should have known better. You can of course catch Wippa with Fitzy and Kate Ritchie on NOVA FM. And you can learn more about the good work Wip is doing with 36 Months HERE. Last episode for the season comes out next week and luckily for us Dr Billy is back with some actual expertise… so get the pens ready. — And big thanks to HERTZ who are our exclusive sponsor in season 3.

Port Adelaide's Ivan Soldo just signed a deal to stay with the club until at least 2026, but his WAG Chelsea Becirevic isn't thrilled. She called Adelaide a “struggle” and admitted she'd rather live in Melbourne, Gold Coast, or maybe even Sydney long-term. To settle the debate, we had Liam from Ben, Liam & Belle and Fitzy from Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie dial in to share whether Adelaide really is as boring as she says. It's time to set the record straight—does Adelaide suck, or is Chelsea just being harsh?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We're back, and apparently asparagus is the secret cure for a hangover? Yep, we're diving into that wild claim—let's see if it beats a greasy brekkie.

Liam from Ben, Liam & Belle and Fitzy from Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie call in to defend their turf. And get this—some bloke decided to marry his rice cooker. Why? We've got no idea.
