Best of Muttons in the Morning is a daily digital audio series produced by Mediacorp that compiles highlights from the morning drive-time broadcast on Class 95, Singapore’s most-listened-to English radio station. The program is anchored by the duo of Justin Ang and Vernon Anthonisz, collectively known as "The Muttons." Having partnered professionally since 2005, the hosts transitioned from 987FM to Class 95 in 2015, where they have since maintained a consistent presence in the morning radio landscape.

The podcast serves as an abridged version of the live five-hour show, focusing on comedic banter, listener interactions, and social commentary. The content is primarily centered on the nuances of Singaporean life, pop culture, and lighthearted news. Recurring segments often featured in the podcast include "People In Our Neighbourhood," where the hosts interview local professionals—such as luthiers, sticker artists, or metalsmiths—to provide insight into niche local communities. Other frequent elements include a weekly summary delivered via rap, discussions on regional travel issues, and reactions to viral social media trends.

The editorial style is conversational and driven by the established chemistry between the two hosts, who often utilize a "good cop, bad cop" dynamic to navigate various topics. While the show occasionally addresses practical issues like changing aviation rules or cross-border regulations between Singapore and Malaysia, the primary objective is entertainment. The podcast format allows a global audience to access the duo’s specific brand of humor and local cultural observations outside of the original live broadcast window. As part of the Mediacorp network, the production maintains a standard disclaimer stating that the opinions expressed by the hosts and their guests do not necessarily reflect the official stance of the parent company. The series remains a significant part of the broadcaster's digital strategy to extend the lifespan of its most popular linear radio content.
