Home and Hosed is the flagship Australian music radio show airing on national youth broadcaster Triple J. It is currently hosted by Ash McGregor. The program was launched as The Local in 2003, replacing Richard Kingsmill's Australian Music Show, which aired from 1991.
The two hour evening time slot showcases the latest local music– giving significant air time to unsigned musicians– as well as interviews and touring information.
Precursor
[edit]From 1991 to 2003, Richard Kingsmill hosted the Australian Music Show, also known as the Oz Music Show, from 10pm to 1am on Wednesday nights.[1][2] Live performances were broadcast from the Triple J studios weekly.
History
[edit]After Kingsmill's program ended, a new program for 2003 was announced titled The Local, hosted by Robbie Buck. Its initial format was a two-hour show every weeknight from 9pm to 11pm.[3] The show was renamed to Home and Hosed later that year.[4]
In 2011, the program's runtime was reduced to one hour, earlier in the evening.[5] From 2024, the program has again expanded to two hours.[6]
Compilation albums
[edit]Triple J issued the first Home and Hosed compilation CD in 2003, releasing four editions in total, with its last in 2006.[7] The albums featured some of the best local music featured on the program.
