Triple M Hobart’s Breakfast Show, Brian Carlton: The Spoonman has the local job market in his sight as he looks to match up one million dollars’ worth of work with job seekers in Hobart.

Originally piquing Brian’s attention was a plea for help from Triple M listener, Leigh, who contacted The Spoonman about her husband Scott, who lost his job last year due to the pandemic and was struggling to find another. Hearing Leigh’s story, local businessman John Brierley contacted Triple M to offer Scott a position in his Derwent Park business which he commenced last week.

“There’s a record 12-year high in terms of job ads nationally, yet there’s still huge numbers of people on job-seeker benefits… we’re aiming to match these people up,” said Brian.

Over the next several weeks, Triple M will be opening the phone lines to job seekers and local employers, listing all submitted positions on the Triple M Job Board housed online at TripleM.com.au.

The original audio of Leigh and Scott’s success story with Brierley Hose and Handling can be heard in full here.

Elsewhere on the Triple M network, 92.9 Triple M has announced that Xavier Ellis, Michael ‘Mickey’ Barlow and Britt Taylor will host the station’s Dead Set Legends weekend sports show, commencing Saturday 17 April.

This announcement rounds out the station’s format following Triple M Perth’s launch in December 2020.

92.9 Triple M Perth content director, Tim Arnold, said: “It’s exciting to have 92.9’s Triple M roster now complete! I know Xavier, Mickey and Britt will complement the Dead Set Legends brand that Triple M listeners already love across Australia – it’s going to be a lot of fun and great way to start the weekend!”
