WA mornings with a comic hairpin turn.
Pete & Kymba turns mornings into a quick-fire run of 90s memories, guest drop-ins, radio games, and WA chatter. The comedy usually starts with a tiny detail, then keeps prodding until it becomes a full-blown group investigation.

Pete & Kymba is breakfast radio with a comic short attention span in the best sense. It does not sit still for long. A morning can begin with April Fool's Day, slide into old radio pranks, then land on the practical question of whether anyone still has the time to fill a boss's office with stuffing. The show is built around that kind of escalation. Small irritations become scenes. A smell near a house becomes a possible expedition with Producer Ringo, Producer Brooke, packed lunch, stickers, and just enough dread to keep the joke moving. Pop culture is everywhere, but it is rarely treated reverently. 90s Week brings Ranger Stacey, Donna Hay, games, stings, roll-ups, Baby Spice comparisons, gothic Kimba memories, and the grim discovery that childhood nostalgia has become someone else's vintage history. Local WA concerns cut through the silliness too. Cyclone Norell, Exmouth, Karratha, Perth, petrol prices, regional supply, and event plans all turn up as practical morning-radio business. The show can be blunt without losing warmth. Its Lorena Bobbitt segment recognises the bizarre shape of the story while plainly naming the domestic violence context. Guests and clips add texture, but the defining pleasure is the conversational shove-and-countershove between regular voices, fill-ins, producers, callers, and whatever oddity has just crossed the desk. Alphabucks, news quizzes, call-in prompts, guest chats, and quick listener problems keep the pace high. It is especially good at taking communal Australian minutiae seriously for exactly long enough to make it funny. Fish doorbells, dry wrapping paper, long-distance relationships, body regrets, and questionable property plans all get the same curious treatment. The show feels loose, but it is never sleepy. It keeps reaching for the next laugh, the next update, the next voice on the line.
Made for: For listeners who like fast, local breakfast radio with comedy, pop culture, games, listener stories, and practical WA updates. It especially fits anyone who enjoys nostalgia, mild chaos, and conversational teasing.
What sets it apart: The show turns tiny everyday details into running comic investigations while still making room for local weather, regional concerns, and guest-driven radio segments. Its WA grounding gives the silliness a specific sense of place.
