Hot Takes
Lil and J are two music-loving millennials with a hot take on practically anything. From chip flavours to the existential questions of a 30-something, these lifelong friends exchange banter and candid opinion in an attempt to understand the world around them. With their engaging, dynamic and unapologetic approach, ‘Hot Takes’ is like a wine with your mate after a long hard day’s work, complete with a cracking curated soundtrack. Every Monday 6-8pm on 96.5 Inner FM Melbourne.
