Bridget Hustwaite (born 10 April 1991) is an Australian radio presenter, television presenter, journalist and author.

Hustwaite hosts the evening programme Good Nights on Australian youth radio station Triple J, a position she has held since 2018, following Linda Marigliano's departure from the role.

Early life and education

Bridget Hustwaite was born in Ballarat, Victoria on 10 April 1991.[1][2] Hustwaite grew up in Ballarat and in nearby Learmonth. She graduated from Ballarat High School in 2008,[2] and then studied visual merchandising at Swinburne University.[3]

Personal life

Hustwaite resides in Melbourne, Victoria.[4]

From 2016 to April 2021, Hustwaite was in a relationship with Australian musician and teacher Matt Jennings.[4][5] Their relationship was at one point long-distance, with Jennings living in Sydney, New South Wales, for three years whilst Hustwaite resided in Melbourne.[6][7]

Health issues

Hustwaite was diagnosed with stage four endometriosis on 16 August 2018,[8][9] following six years of suffering intense abdominal pain, nausea, and fatigue during her adolescent menstrual years.[10] Speaking about the diagnosis, Hustwaite stated:

"We need faster diagnosis, better treatments and more education and awareness about endometriosis. The fact [that] this research is being funded is a step in the right direction."[10]

Hustwaite frequently uses heat bags during her shifts on radio in order to minimise pain caused by the condition.[11]

Career

2012–2015: Journalism and community radio presenting

In 2012, Hustwaite was the runner-up in Channel V Australia's Presenter Search. She then began volunteering for music journalism website The AU Review as a concert reviewer, and at SYN Media in Melbourne. With SYN, a youth-run media organisation, Hustwaite presented the live music show 1700, which aired on television through C31 Melbourne. She went on to present radio shows The Hoist and Spotlight on SYN 90.7.[12]

2015–present: Good Nights on Triple J and How to Endo

In late 2015, Hustwaite was offered the role of presenter on Triple J's mid-dawn program.[3] She took over from Linda Marigliano as the host of Triple J's weeknight evening show Good Nights in 2018.[2]

On 2 March 2021, Hustwaite released her first novel, How to Endo, which documents her experiences with her endometriosis diagnosis.[13]

Advocacy

Following her endometriosis diagnosis, Hustwaite became an ambassador for Endometriosis Australia on 15 August 2019.[14]

On 9 May 2019, Hustwaite created an endometriosis-themed Instagram account, titled "Endogram", with the goal of raising awareness, sharing information and encouraging conversations about endometriosis.[15]
