Since December, Sean McPherson and Jade have been holding it down as temporary co-hosts of The Current's Morning Show while Jill Riley went on maternity leave and Brian Oake ramped up as The Current's newest on-air host. Now, as Oake and Riley get ready to debut the new Morning Show on Monday, Jade and Sean are signing off.

Though Jade and Sean are handing over the morning slot, they're happily remaining at The Current: Jade will return to her regular hosting shift from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays, while Sean takes over as new host of Radio Free Current on Saturday nights from 7 to 11 p.m. You'll also enjoy Sean's big personality in the wee small hours on many overnight shifts.

As we recognize Jade and Sean's brief but (sort of) distinguished tenure as co-hosts of the Morning Show, we're sharing an appropriately short mockumentary documentary about their 15 weeks of coffee talk. Click above to listen.
