Hot Takes
Lil & Jacinta
Lil and J are two music-loving millennials with a hot take on practically anything.

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.
