The Breakfast show was how Shaina-Rae got her first start on radio.
She was a guest host on the show in 2017 and again in 2023. The 25-year-old said the experience ignited her passion for radio.
“It was phenomenal. It was really cool to be on the show. We had great banter and lots of fun. It was a great learning experience. As a listener, you think it’s just pushing play to a song and then talking. There’s a lot more to it, but it’s fascinating,” she said.

My fondest radio memory growing up was feeling like I have a personal relationship with every single radio presenter, even though I had not met them before. Driving in the car and listening to them to school and from school, you feel like you know them. I really want to connect with listeners.
