No topic is off limits on this weekly podcast hosted by Melbourne radio personality Byron Cooke.

"The Byron Cooke Show" was launched on November 1st 2020 to take on deeper and more controversial subjects than those heard on traditional breakfast radio. You definitely won't hear most of these topics in the mainstream!

Alongside his co-hosts DJ Perri Lee, Akec Makur Chuot and special guests, Byron will always be willing to ask (and sometimes answer) the most confronting questions.
