Triple M today announced Ali Plath will join the Gold Coast’s 92.5 Triple M Breakfast show alongside Peter ‘Spida’ Everitt and Sean ‘Flan’ Flanagan from January 2022.
Plath seems a perfect fit for the new gig, having grown up in Queensland, and harbouring a passion for sport, music, and stand-up comedy.
She’s also got an extensive sporting history, which has seen her take the touch footy field, the AFL oval and the cricket pitch.
Plath has also played several years at the Gold Coast’s home of touch, Owen Park, and last year represented the Gold Coast at the Queensland State Cup in its over 30s women’s team.
Plath’s touch achievements have seen her represent Australia from 1997-2013 at numerous Trans-Tasman tournaments and two World Cups in Sydney and Japan, where she co-captained the Mixed Open team that included the likes of rugby league legend, Benji Marshall.
The mother of four isn’t afraid of the stage either, having made the Queensland State Finals of “Raw Stand-Up Comedy”, and also performed in the ensembles of Tasmanian productions, ‘My Fair Lady’ and ‘We Will Rock You’, both playing at the Theatre Royal in Hobart.
Plath previously worked Hobart’s 107.3 Triple M breakfast gig, alongside radio great, Dave Noonan, in 2017, and most recently worked on the Sunshine Coast’s, Zinc FM’s breakfast show.
“It’s impossible to adequately express my excitement levels for joining Triple M Breakfast on the Gold Coast,” she said.
“It’s such a privilege to step into the show, alongside Flan and Spida. Bridge has left a huge legacy at 92.5 and it’s one that I will do my absolute best to carry on and do her proud. I honestly feel like I’ve won radio lotto.”
“As a South East Queenslander, I can’t wait to call the Gold Coast home, along with my family. It will be the first time in six years I’ll have my four kids all living in the same city.
“I’m also about to gain two of the best radio teammates anyone could possibly ask for. Bring on 2022!”
92.5 Triple M content director, Corey Kay, added, “It’s a fresh chapter for Triple M in 2022 with the addition of Ali to our local line up of Flan and Spida.
“Ali is genuine, loves a laugh, has life experiences, yarns that’ll make your toes curl, and a deep passion for being part of the community. We know the Gold Coast and Tweed are going to love Ali as much as we do.”
