The Hit Network\u2019s Jess & Ducko have taken the radio world by storm, and the dynamic duo are gearing up for a massive year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though no strangers to the microphone, Jess & Ducko, aka Jess Farchione and Nick \u2018Ducko\u2019 Allen\u2013Ducat, are hitting Central Coasts airwaves for the first time. It\u2019s been a long time coming for the duo, who both had an unexpected journey into brekky radio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRadio was never on my vision board,\u201d Jess says. \u201cI stumbled into it by heading along to a community radio station information night. I fell in love from the get\u2013go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ducko\u2019s journey in the entertainment industry has been a steady climb, from working behind the scenes to dabbling in acting and television presenting. But there\u2019s nothing that excites Ducko more than going live on the radio. \u201cThe instant connection you get with your audience is more powerful than any other platform\u201d, he says. \u201cIt\u2019s so special. We get to speak directly to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jess and Ducko are building a mighty loyal following as they enthral listeners with tales of their wild adventures and major life milestones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In October 2023 Jess welcomed her first child, Lucia, with her husband, Angus. She says it\u2019s made her see life differently. \u201cI watch Lucia see something for the first time \u2013 something as simple as a cloud in the sky, a leaf on the jasmine vine, a picture in a book. Her eyes widen, and she smiles. My heart just explodes as she discovers everything beautiful, special, and interesting in our world,\u201d Jess beams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ducko spends his weekends enjoying an active lifestyle with his wife, Morgan, and their beloved dog, Pam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy idea of a great weekend is getting to Avoca Beach, having a surf, and then grabbing a drink and bite to eat at Lady Copa Pizzeria in Copacabana,\u201d Ducko says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the duo has plenty in common, their shared love for food and the outdoors are regular themes weaved into their Breakfast show. Braving the early mornings together for more than five years, Jess and Ducko have created a brand of radio that encourages listeners to be a part of their lives. \u201cNothing is off\u2013limits for us. We\u2019re both \u2018too real\u2019 sometimes. I think we both tend to overshare a bit,\u201d Ducko laughs. \u201cPeople get to know us,\u201d Jess says. \u201cIt\u2019s a privilege to be a part of the morning for our listeners\u2019 and their families. When people tell me their kids love me\u2014that\u2019s so unbelievably special!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jess and Ducko are eager to continue creating exciting radio for listeners. \u201cDucko and I had a big chat about what we wanted in 2024. We were sitting on my couch, and almost simultaneously, we said \u2013 let\u2019s just have fun,\u201d Jess recalls. \u201cIf we can be a bit of comic relief for someone\u2019s daily commute or the community, we\u2019re doing our job right\u201d, Ducko says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If energy and passion are signs of things to come, Jess and Ducko have exciting plans on the horizon \u2013 and their radio show should not be missed!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
