Every week Word for Word explores the stories, experiences, and perspectives of extraordinary LGBTQIA+ individuals. From artists to advocates, quiet heroes to loud trailblazers, we’re shining a light on the lives and lessons of those who are making a difference in our community. 

Join host Jason Heath each week as he delves into the triumphs, struggles, and achievements of our guests, and discover the beauty of their authentic selves. Get ready to laugh, cry, and be inspired – because on Word for Word, every voice matters, and every story deserves to be heard. 

On this episode we have Chris Furneaux, a valuable member of Melbourne’s LGBTQIA+ community.

From his early days growing up in rural South Australia to his current role as a JOY Melbourne legend, Chris has lived a life full of purpose, creativity, and joy.

Join us as we explore Chris’s fascinating story, from his experiences as a gay man in the 1960s and 70s to his tireless work preserving the history of JOY Melbourne.

With his quick wit, sharp tongue, and infectious laugh, Chris will regale us with stories of his adventures in the gay scene, his travels around the world, and his passion for music, literature, and life.
