Natalie Bassingthwaighte joins Brett and Tim on JOY Breakfast for a candid chat about juggling life as one of Australia’s busiest entertainers. From starring as Jenna in the Australian premiere of Waitress the Musical to reuniting with the Rogue Traders for their first album in nearly two decades, Natalie reflects on career highs, personal growth, and why she’s embracing a “booked and blessed” mindset.

Natalie also takes a trip down memory lane, sharing memories of the original Australian production of Rent, discussing the powerful female characters she’s portrayed on stage, and revealing how those roles have mirrored different chapters of her own life. Plus, she talks about the resurgence of 2000s music, performing fan favourites like Voodoo Child to packed crowds, and why now felt like the perfect time for a Rogue Traders comeback.

Wake up and roll into your Thursday with Joel & Mama Mish, along with sassy Liam for JOY Breakfast – a funny, cheeky, and delightfully unpredictable morning show that mixes news, nostalgia, and nonsense with a lot of laughs.

They also take a break from the doomscrolling with a bumper edition of In Other News, celebrating uplifting stories from around the world. Plus it wouldn’t be JOY Breakfast without a healthy dose of chaos as Joel and Mama Mish put their knowledge to the test in Closest to the Pin — but did Joel finally secure a win, or was it another heartbreaking defeat?
