Jase & Lauren was an Australian breakfast radio show hosted by Jason Hawkins and Lauren Phillips on KIIS 1011 in Melbourne. The show was also syndicated on the KIIS Network on Saturday morning. A daily podcast of the morning's show was also produced.
History
In July 2021, Australian Radio Network announced that Lauren Phillips would join co-host Jason 'Jase' Hawkins from 9 August 2021 on the KIIS 101.1 breakfast program. Hawkins had previously co-hosted with Polly 'PJ' Harding on the breakfast program Jase & PJ. Following the departure of Harding on July 23, 2021, the show was relaunched with Lauren Phillips.[1]
On 30 July 2021, a one-hour pop-up show was heard on the air a week before the official launch. Jase and Lauren introduced new friends of the show. Clint Stanaway replaces Sacha Barbour Gatt as the show's newsreader, whie Christian Petracca provided weekly contributions.[2]
In December 2022, Alice James was announced as new executive producer of the program, replacing Luke James.[3]
In November 2023, after months of media speculation, it was announced that The Kyle and Jackie O Show would be networked from KIIS 106.5 Sydney in 2024, effectively ending Jase & Lauren.[4] The final show aired on Friday 1 December 2023.
