It makes perfect sense for Nova 106.9 to launch a new show featuring NRL star Benji Marshall at season’s kick-off.

It also happens to be the same weekend he debuted for his new club, the Brisbane Broncos, in that Rugby League-mad market.

But the show, co-hosted by Benji’s wife Zoe, has little to do with football and much to do with the couple’s unconventional marriage. In truth Zoe, accomplished broadcaster, and self-confessed oversharer is the host while her “fiercly private” husband is a reluctant performer who had to be press ganged into service.

“Meet the Marshalls” is described as a voyeuristic look at an unconventional marriage, and will reveal more about the glamorous couple than has ever been heard before.

And with the pair having not established the boundaries of what they will and won’t say on air, “Meet the Marshalls” promises listeners real, raw, funny and possibly awkward radio.

“They say opposites attract which is perfectly true for Benji and I; as he is fiercely private and I’m an open book,” says Zoe.

“I know Benj is going to say repeatedly on Sunday “that’s a no-go zone for me”, but I have always been a ‘do things in the moment and figure it as you go’ kind of girl, but we always have fun and I know Benj always has my back.”

Jay Walkerden, Nova 106.9 General Manager and Program Director said, “It’s a bold move for these pair to go in to the studio and invite listeners into their lives every Sunday.

“Everyone at Nova is excited to Meet the Marshalls, because we know we are going to discover that there is much more to Beni than brilliant football, and Zoe is someone listeners are going to love because she is funny and fearless.”

Meet the Marshalls airs Sundays 7am – 9am.
