Rebecca Morse breaks silence on her future following Soda’s shock departure from SAFM breakfast show

Adelaide radio star Rebecca Morse has lifted the lid on her future at SAFM following Soda’s departure from the brekky show.

Adelaide radio star Rebecca Morse has broken her silence on what is happening at SAFM following her co-star’s departure from the station’s breakfast program Bec and Soda.

Earlier this week, Mark Soderstrom revealed he had quit radio as he faces the “biggest challenge of his life”.

Now, in an online post Rebecca Morse has broken her silence about her future at the station, revealing she had been axed.

“I was told on Tuesday that my contract would not be renewed and was offered the opportunity to see out the week,” she said.

Rebecca Morse has broken her silence about the future of her SAFM radio show.

“Unfortunately the way the events unfolded meant I felt emotionally unable to return to the studio so I want to say sorry to the SAFM family that I didn’t say goodbye.

Morse thanked the audience and said she was “grateful for the lifelong friends she had made” at the station.

“Thank you to the community we built and the listeners who told me my Mum Fails and Hot Messes made them feel like they were not alone,” she said.

“I never took for granted the platform we have on breakfast radio to try to make a difference.

“Brb sleeping for a bit or selling foot pics.”

It comes after her co-host Soderstrom told the station’s audience he had no choice but to walk away from his radio commitments.

“Life has changed for me recently and I’m facing the biggest challenge of my life and I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and it’s been pretty tough,” he said alongside co-host Rebecca Morse.

“I have the three most important reasons in my life why I have to tell you that I have to make the decision to step away from breakfast radio.

“It’s not even a decision I have to make – it’s something I have to do because I have a fair bit on my plate.”

The Advertiser understands that Soderstrom has decided to prioritise time with his young family ahead of the demands of breakfast radio.

Soderstrom joined Morse on SAFM’s breakfast radio show at the start of 2023.
