Sydney at 6 covered Chris Minns' extra Anzac Day public holiday annoying businesses, Jacob Elordi getting lost in the Sydney Opera House and leaving Margot Robbie waiting on stage, and over 286,000 people across Sydney venues in one weekend. Kim K's kids apparently love Lewis Hamilton, Cardi B fell off her chair mid-show and blamed the government, and Ricki-Leaks delivered a caller whose neighbourhood does wife swaps most nights. Northern Beaches Council banned bikinis on the free Hop, Skip and Jump bus between Manly and Balgowlah, and Guy Sebastian stopped by the studio to reveal his favourite song of all time... and it's a Ricki-Lee track.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We officially launched the Ricki-Lee & Tim breakfast show on Nova 96.9 and honestly, we're still processing it. Tim laid down his rules for the show including his unhinged take on the sock-shoe situation—if you go sock shoe, sock shoe instead of sock sock, shoe shoe, he thinks you're nuts (and also don't buy chicken, apparently). Prime Minister Albo called in to wish us luck, confirmed Pauline Hanson will never be PM, roasted David Littleproud for looking like a hostage, and revealed his Valentine's Day plans. We dove into Glossy's breaking down all the Taylor Swift easter eggs hidden in her Opalite video because of course we did. Spun the Wheel for our first breakfast game—the Whisper Challenge—and now we're asking you: how do you reckon we went?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Gary Sweet has revealed on ‘I’m a Celebrity Get me Out of Here, Australia’ a family tale about his history, where he found out at the age of 7 that his Aunty and Uncle were actually his parents.

Ricki-Lee was just 18 when she became a household name on the second season of Australian Idol in 2004. Thrust into the spotlight at a time when famous women’s bodies and choices were the subject of intense media and public scrutiny, Ricki-Lee was able to block out the critics and build a formidable career as a recording artist, performer, TV presenter and radio host. Now in 2026, she’s the host of the show that kickstarted her career and she’s about to take over Nova’s breakfast time slot with her longtime drive co-host Tim Blackwell. In this episode of the Stellar podcast, Ricki-Lee reveals what her Idol colleague and soon-to-be radio rival Kyle Sandilands is really like behind the scenes, plus she explains why she thinks people were so uncomfortable with her decision to be child-free, and how she deals with the constant comments about her body. Nova 96.9’s Sydney breakfast show Ricki-Lee & Tim can be heard weekdays from 6am-9am starting Monday, February 9. National listeners can also tune into the show across the Nova Network every weekday from 6pm-7pm, stream the show live or catch up with the daily podcast on the Nova Player.

ICYMI, Ricki-Lee & Tim are heading to Sydney Breakfast on Feb 9, and Joel's going solo in April. Here are the guys driving you home from Feb 9...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re back live January 19, 2026. In the meantime… Just minutes before the live Australian Idol Grand Finale kicked off, Ricki-Lee was in a full-blown food poisoning nightmare—thanks to some rogue Mexican! She pushed through like a total pro. Glam on the outside, absolute chaos within. We relive the carnage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We’re back live January 19, 2026. In the meantime… Ricki-Lee had her Logies moment stolen thanks to a confetti bomb courtesy of Richard Marx’s performance. While trying to present live on stage with Manu, Ricki ended up squinting through stage fog and glitter-drenched autocues like she was decoding Morse code. Add a thick emergency panty mission, a gown that doubled as a red carpet speed bump, and some cheeky shoutouts from Hans and the Today team, and you've got the most glamorous hostage situation in Logies history. Throw in Jimmy Barnes, Yelena Dokic, some cheeky Pang, and a few sus snubs—last year’s Logies had it all… even if Idol didn’t win.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back January 19, but in the meantime... In a very rare game of Name Em, Ricki reveals to us that she auditioned for Season 1 of Australian Idol... and GOT REJECTED! Find out why now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

2025 on the Ricki Lee, Tim and Joel Show was absolute chaos in the best way. The Win Page was your religion and the Big Wednesday Wheel got new games that somehow stuck harder than Name Em ever did. We pulled massive guests, bigger stories and even bigger jingles that haunted us for months. Nova’s Red Room Global Tour took us from New Zealand with Gracie Abrams to criss crossing America, including that one show we literally did from a car. Ricki hit the big 4 0, Tim did his Arias host strut and Joel spent most of the year defending Girlfriend’s honour like a proud guard dog in sequins. And we wrapped it all up with Nicola belting us into the new year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We put Nova radio hosts Ricki-Lee, Tim & Joel to the test with a rapid-fire quiz covering the biggest headlines of 2025 — from viral sports moments to showbiz shake-ups and weird global firsts. For more, head to news.com.auSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Joel’s Neighbours career gets a forensic rewatch from fans after he reveals his character was a “money-laundering stalker turned wedding planner” — and Ricki-Lee vows to binge every episode. The team even go full Powerball mode listing Joel’s exact episode numbers while discovering the “Just Watch” app mid-chat. Then it turns into a 40th birthday love fest: Joel gifts Ricki-Lee a flirty sat-nav message from her car (“you know how to drive me crazy”)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back live Monday October 6 but in the meantime, remember this?The team dove headfirst into the news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement, dissecting everything from her sold-out Ralph Lauren dress to that monster $1.5 million ring. Tim reckons the “three months’ salary” rule doesn’t quite apply when you’re a millionaire NFL star. Ricky shared what it was like breaking the news to the biggest Swiftie she knows — and how it nearly caused a domestic crisis. Even Donald Trump weighed in with his two cents, despite recently calling Taylor a loser. It’s safe to say this engagement has everyone, from Swifties to presidents, losing their minds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's Mailbag, our listener Tamara is begging for a Ricki-Lee & Jessica Mauboy reunion... and Ricki may just have some good news!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Keli Holiday dropped by for Quick Draw and things got lively fast. He chatted about life, music, and being on Spicks and Specks with Abbie Chatfield, with the team gushing over how smitten the pair looked. Between edging jokes, shadowbanned photos, and even chat about real-life orgasms in his music, Kelly kept everyone laughing. The Quick Draw battle was tight, but Ricki Lee showed no mercy — while Joel made sure Abbie still got a shoutout in the chaos.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki-Lee dove headfirst into the comments section after our “douche de leche” video went viral — 13 million views and a gaggle of spicy opinions later, the internet had thoughts. Spanish speakers were offended, Chileans called it manjar, and one legend just applauded the confidence. Ricki defended herself with Google phonetics prep, but let’s be honest… it still wasn’t great. Then came Brendan’s cruise ship horror story involving cocktails, fire, melted shorts and his poor groin — absolute chaos. And to top it off, Ricki’s Taylor Swift Super Bowl theory just got major backing online, with Swifties linking sourdough bread, mascots and Easter eggs to Levi’s Stadium in 2026.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We know it's New Music Friday, but we didn't think we were going to get BRAND NEW music from our very own gorgeous girl! Listen to the FRESH new song right now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jessica Mauboy pops in for Quick Draw, dishes on life as a new mum, writing While I Got Time just two months after giving birth, and why she needs grit and “stank face” in her music. There’s talk of a future Ricki-Lee–Jess arena tour, a jungle-rock Running Back, and a nail-biter Quick Draw match where Yass, Jessica is back in full force.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Karl Stefanovic came in hot for Quick Draw, but before we even got to the buzzer—Ricki-Lee put him on the spot with the ultimate Today Show question: Who’s your favourite cohost of all time? His answer? Chaotic. Unexpected. Possibly a career-ending move. Then we played Quick Draw and, look, Karl came to win… but was he too cocky too early? Get ready for some major ego, banter, and a shoutout to a very specific food court.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A nutritionist has shaken the drive-thru to its core—claiming it’s healthier to order two burgers instead of a burger and fries. Apparently, you double your protein and ditch the carbs. Ricki-Lee, Tim and Joel weren’t having it. “Three burgers, no fries?” “Extra protein?” “No thank you!” The team concluded the only healthy option is pretending this advice doesn’t exist.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We reveal the weird stuff our partners are obsessed with (looking at you, Rich). A bold nutritionist says ditch the fries and get two burgers instead… excuse me?! In Glossys, the White House takes aim at South Park, Harry Styles drops a sex toy line, and Tesla launches a diner. Plus, a bogan YouTuber goes rogue in Emirates First Class, and it’s pure comedy gold.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back, beettttchhhh! Did you miss us? Because we missed you, too! We catch up on the things we missed over the break... and not just the Coldplay CEO cheating saga! We go through your messages and comments with Mailbag. Ricki hilariously details her most boring holiday in New Zealand (you may disagree if you're not Ricki-Lee tbh), and Joel found the funniest GRWM video on-line. If you don't know what that means, so doesn't Blackers - and we explain what the kids are saying.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's Australia's own news-boss and Dancing With The Stars contestant Michael Usher, of course! Who were you thinking, mate? He traded the newsroom for the Quick Draw studio – and he came in swinging. Between Paso Dobles, newsroom chaos, and Logies prep, Usher squeezed in time to face off against Ricki-Lee. But when things got personal with one of the answers... well, let’s just say tensions rose.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We reveal our all-time favourite movies—some iconic, some unhinged, and one Bruno-shaped surprise from Ricki-Lee. Plus, we rip into the New York Times' top 10 films of the 21st century… and someone’s not impressed that Bring It On didn’t make the cut.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Don't have time to listen to the full show? We got you covered on the Nathan, Nat & Shaun Quickie, all the best bits from Tuesday, 17th of June’s episode!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our Mailbag segment took a wild turn when Today Show reporter Jack Hahn popped into the studio and absolutely shocked Ricki-Lee. Just as we were unpacking listener DMs, bargain bin sightings of Ricki’s album, and a cheeky remix rave review, in walks the man who “floated away like a plastic bag” on national TV. Jack’s surprise visit had Ricki convinced she was hallucinating Rhys D’Alessandro, but nope — it was the real-life jawline of Hahn himself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Katy Perry fed tigers at Sydney Zoo last night because apparently she doesn’t do room service. Meanwhile, Ricki-Lee put Tim and Joel through their paces with words from the Spelling Bee after a 13-year-old genius won it all by typing on an invisible keyboard. Trump’s iPhone lock screen is still his own face from 2019, and we’re not sure what’s more alarming... that or his camera roll. We also met an Olympic hopeful who swapped paddles for OnlyFans and is now banned from competing but rolling in cash. Plus, Matt Moran dropped by for a Whisper Challenge and confirmed he’s still anti-marinade and pro-bathroom chic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's Mailbag, we hear from Dr Karl who debunks ice baths (sad for Joel), a listener had a similar moment like Tim when mistaking someone (except this one's way worse) and we hear from a fan who said Ricki looks 'a hundred bucks'. Explain yourself!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fitzy has learned a new term, "green banana" which means booking a band just before they go big and he brought some amazing moments where these artists are playing on these small stages with insane crowds. Nova legend, Tim "Rosso" Ross is in studio to talk his new Vivid show and re-live some of his old radio days. Ricki-Lee calls in to give us an update on the Nova Red Room Global Tour and we find out some of your work perks!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back live this Monday, but in the meantime... We ask the question 'was your fart a work of art?' and geez, didn't we get the best caller! This fan admitted he farted on our very own gassy girl!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fresh off his huge win, Australian Idol champ Marshall Hamburger joined the show—still running on zero sleep and a couple of post-show bevvies. Ricki-Lee (his Idol mum!) got all the goss from the dressing room drinks, what it felt like beating Eilish, and how wild it was performing with Leo bloody Sayer. We also took a victory lap because yes, Tim did call it weeks ago. The Hamburger is here, baby, and his Idol album drops Friday!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Just minutes before the live Australian Idol Grand Finale kicked off, Ricki-Lee was in a full-blown food poisoning nightmare—thanks to some rogue Mexican! She pushed through like a total pro. Glam on the outside, absolute chaos within. We relive the carnage.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s a wild one today as Today Show legends Sylvia Jeffreys & Karl Stefanovic step in for Ricki-Lee & Joel! They come prepared with their own Tim Factwells, and let’s just say… Tim’s legacy is shaken. The Whisper Challenge goes completely off the rails, we reveal Joel Creasey’s next big career move, and Tim flexes about his most famous follower—hello, Yoko Ono! Plus, ChatGPT roasts Sylvia & Karl (brutally), and we wrap up with Joel Jivin’!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our girl has done it! Ricki-Lee convinced Tim to start watching Drive To Survive and he LOVES it. Although it doesn't take long for them to start fighting over the team he chose to support. Joel shares that he's a proud Mummy's Boy and reveals just how expensive it is to join Andy Murray's Mother's Day Yoga Celebration! Tim Factwell returns and we circle back to why we can't do 'I was Today Years Old' anymore. Instead, we learn just how big Australia is, how to tell who your real friends are and that we can't move our body this way. Then, we unpack the Glossy's and find out why Lewis Hamilton, Timothée Chalamet, Khloe Kardashian, and Benson Boone are making headlines around the world. That, and we make a list of everything that's BETTER than sex - that's right, better! Plus, F1 commentator David Crofts joins us for Quick Draw and Ricki-Lee is fan-girling.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ricki-Lee is back and she kicks off the podcast with her hatred for Jeans! Turns out, she's not alone with fellow Hollywood actor Kevin Hart hart revealing why he's swapped them out for his slacks! Joel reveals that the bush may be making a comeback after a woman in the UK undertook 'pube plants' to get hers back! We also unpack last night's episode of Australian Idol and find out who made it to the Top 10. Then, we dive into the Glossy's and discover the first victim of Paris Fashion Week, a plot-twist for Wendy Williams and decide whether this pop star's son could be the next big artist! Plus, The Wednesday Wheel is back and we play the 'Sweet Treats' Edition of POVO.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's just the boys today and Joel loves it - here's what we got up to: First up, we had to mention our girl, our pop star, Ricki-Lee! Ricki was featured in an article describing how she met her husband, Rich and Tim and Joel didn't actually know this story! So, they asked and answered some listener questions about Ricki in her absence. Joel also revealed the brand new and very boujee item he wants to purchase from Lamborghini and Tim shares how Ne-Yo juggles his four, yes four, girlfriends after he introduced them to the world on social media. In the Glossy's, we discuss what Thomas Markle Sr. thinks of Meghan Markle's new Netflix series, Millie Bobby-Brown's accent changes, Nicole Kidman's potential next gig and a whole lot of PDA from Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. We also learnt about the horrors of being intoxicated and played a special edition of Joel Jivin' with Hughesy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are loving Australian Idol this year! We've just got to recap some of the performances we've had recently from MZUKI's rapping, Jake's hearty country singin', and to the jaw dropping, gravity-defying performance from Gisella.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese also dropped in today by surprise. There was much to talk about in light of cyclone Alfred having passed recently. But also, Albanese talks about what exactly he was up to on Mardi Gras night.Ricki-Lee discovers that her love for pickles only runs deeper now that she's learnt about this taco pickle hack. It doesn't seem like Tim and Joel and very on board with this one though...Also - we have an absolutely HUGE announcement this show. You really should not be missing this one!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We kicked off the show with a sweet surprise — the Dutch breakfast classic 'Hagelslag.' Turns out, 750,000 buttered bread and chocolate sprinkle sandwiches are devoured daily in the Netherlands. Honestly, who needs avocado toast? Then, we unpacked the latest from Australian Idol before diving into the Glossys. Ariana Grande's already tipped for an Oscar nod in 2026 for Wicked: Part II, Chris Hemsworth is owning Byron Bay's 'Cyclone Swell,' and Take That got a shoutout at the Oscars for their track 'The Greatest Day.' Of course, Ricki-Lee went rogue about Meghan Markle's Netflix special With Love, Meghan — the bit where she insists on being called 'Sussex' by Mindy Kaling sent Ricki through the roof. And finally, things got heated with the Spelling Bee game — Joel reckons it's rigged, but we reckon it's just hilarious. What a ride!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Billie Eilish joins Ricki-Lee and Tim for a chat during her Hit Me Hard And Soft Tour in Australia. She opens up about being sure of herself from a young age (even if teenage Billie didn’t have it all figured out), her hyperfixation on music and visuals, and the weirdness of playing Sydney clubs at 15 — too young to be in the audience, but old enough to be on stage. Plus, Billie gets a sweet gift from Tim’s daughter!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s an estrogen-fuelled extravaganza today as Mitch Churi steps in for Tim, and the studio goes full girl power!

It's a full-blown Boys Club today with Ricki-Lee off doing her Australian Idol thing—so it's just Tim & Joel running the joint! Joel’s buzzing because he’s off to see Kylie Minogue tonight in Melbourne, but does he even know where her statue is? Lord Mayor Nick Reece helps us out. Also, Whoopi Goldberg has vanished from The View, so we start the search party. Joel reckons he’s an “avi-sexual,” so we test his airline knowledge in A Bit of Tail—and, shockingly, he nails it!
