Hirsty's Daily Dose, also known as The Dose and The Capital Breakfast Show, was a British radio breakfast show, which aired on Capital Yorkshire for 11 years. It was devised and presented by Stephanie Hirst with Danny Oakes and Joanne "JoJo" Kelly (née Moorhouse), most often referred to as Hirsty, Danny and JoJo.
The show first aired on Galaxy 105 at 1:05pm on Sunday 13 January 2003. Hirst moved from hosting the breakfast show on Viking FM in Hull to join the Galaxy team to present their new breakfast show, covering the whole of Yorkshire, bringing Oakes to join current presenter JoJo.
Galaxy was rebranded as Capital on 3 January 2011 as part of a merger of Global Radio's Galaxy and Hit Music networks to form the nine-station Capital radio network. The show and its presenters were retained at the relaunched station.
On 20 June 2014, Hirst announced that she had left Capital, bringing Hirsty's Daily Dose to an end after 11 years on air – the final edition aired a week before the announcement. Drivetime presenter Adam O'Neill took over as the main host of Capital Breakfast with Danny and JoJo remaining co-hosts.
The show used the following features in its broadcasts:
Hirsty's Daily Dose had two podcasts in its history. Hirsty's Dosecast ran during the show's Galaxy days and ran to over 150 episodes. The podcast was re-launched after the rebranding to Capital, and was known as Hirsty's Overdose. The Overdose name was previously used as the name to the weekly highlights programme broadcast on Saturday mornings. The format of the podcast is quite straightforward, often consisting of the best bits of the show from the past week, along with some original content, some of which is often only suitable for a podcast.
