"We're still going to be playing a lot of music - that's the point of difference on Coast, we play a lot more music, but the banter between Bernadine and myself will be the chance to chat to Bernadine about her family - and obviously my son is ready to start school so we'll chat about that, basically just reflecting on our lives.
"With both of us being in our 40s, it's the perfect life for our listener as well, because we're relatable. We are not hiding the fact that we have kids, I'm probably the most un-cool dad ever, and we're not going to be hiding any of that.
"The key thing is that the listener is the star. Callers are always on-air talking about what they want to as well."
Mr Reeves said that was probably a sign of radio growing up and moving on from the prank-call format.
"It had its place, but I think there are some shows that have tried to hold on too long. They try to pretend to be younger than they are but that's the really cool thing about us, we don't need to pretend to be anything - we just are.
"Some of these stations are still trying to do prank calls and the silly songs but radio has moved on. You have to be a little bit more clever about what you do on air and be a bit more relatable."
He suggested it was the intimacy of radio and audience interaction between songs that had seen the platform grow in popularity.
"People predicted the demise of radio quite a while ago with live streaming but it has actually had growth over the last couple of years. It has definitely evolved, the content you create, you have to be able to share that same content online and in print."
From January the show would be broadcast nationally from Auckland but it was also planned to host the show from Hawke's Bay as much as possible.
"It's also going to be on iHeart Radio, so you can hear it all over the world. So I'll be banging the Hawke's Bay drum to the rest of the world.
"I'd also like to get the show down here for Art Deco weekend, FAWC and all those kinds of events.
"I've hosted various TV shows as well, but I've always banged the Hawke's Bay drum as much as I could - wearing the Magpies jersey on TV and proudly worn my Karamu High School jacket on TV.
"I grew up here, my mum and dad are still here, and my sister and brother-in-law and my nieces are in Okawa, so I still call this place home.
"I try to get home as often as I can and bring my wife Louise and the kids to see as many live Magpies games as I can."
The former New Zealand's Got Talent co-host was in Hawke's Bay to present his afternoon show from Napier, before acting as MC at last night's Sol3 Mio concert at the Black Barn.
That was another homecoming of sorts, since that was where he married his wife Louise.
It was also good to return to the place where he got his first break, while still at high school.
"I found radio when I was still at school. I used to go into a local station in Hastings and learned from people like Julian Burn and Mark McCarron.
"I hung around there doing odd jobs like alphabetising CDs and cleaning out the station van, and then one weekend one of our overnight announcers was sick. By that time I'd learned how to push the button on the desk so I said I'd do it. The boss at the time said that's fine but you can't talk after 4am, in case anyone hears you. So that was my first break.
"I then went to another station in Hastings, so I learned so much in my early years here."
