JOY Breakfast on JOY 94.9

Wake up and roll into your Thursday with Joel & Mama Mish – a funny, cheeky, and delightfully unpredictable morning show that mixes news, nostalgia, and nonsense with a lot of laughs.

This week Joel & Mama Mish, are getting fabulously weird and wonderfully queer! They chat with Melbourne actor, writer and creative Jeremiah Louis about his surreal new queer TV project I WEAR YOU, exploring ageing, vanity, loneliness and what it really means to be seen. Then Nick White joins us to talk about making the leap from architect to comedy superstar and his musical theatre debut as the Man of Many Characters in Monty Python’s SPAMALOT. Plus, the horoscopes are BACK with our outrageous October predictions — from emotional marriages over coffee orders to dating apps, questionable decisions and potential Bunnings wedding bells! And we finish by celebrating the incredible Dame Julie Andrews’ 91st birthday, with a little Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music and plenty of spoonfuls of sugar.

Joel and Mama Mish catch up with S.E. Grummett and Sam Kruger about their wild and wonderfully creepy new show Creepy Boys, hitting the Melbourne Fringe Festival. They chat about the inspiration behind the show, creating something that’s equal parts weird, hilarious and thought-provoking, and what audiences can expect when they step into the world of Creepy Boys. It’s a fun, cheeky conversation about theatre, creativity and embracing the beautifully bizarre!

Johnno’s off sunning himself in Spain this week, so Yiannis is joined by Dr Cat to hold down the fort.

The pair dig into whether chocolate actually gives you strength, and chat through a newly discovered cat species. There’s also news of Serbia’s first gay president. Yiannis rounds things out with a look at job interviews that never happened — starting with the mysterious “Fauna Spotter Catcher” role.

Greg Gould joins Brett and Tim on JOY Breakfast with a huge announcement: he’s teaming up with Scottish singer-songwriter Sandi Thom to re-record her iconic hit I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker (With Flowers in My Hair) for its 20th anniversary.

Greg shares the very unexpected way the collaboration came about, how a social media follow turned into voice notes, recording plans and a new friendship, plus the news that Sandi is heading to Australia and Greg will be joining her for a national tour.

It’s an announcement filled with music, laughs and some questionable Scottish accents.

Melbourne singer, songwriter and producer ALIUS (aka Sebastian Ivanov) joins Brett on JOY Breakfast to chat about his latest single Trigger Point and the journey that’s taken him from appearing on The Voice alongside his twin sister to building a solo career with millions of streams.

ALIUS opens up about finding his identity as an openly queer artist, the realities behind success in the music industry, and why Sweden has played such a major role in shaping his sound. He also reveals his Eurovision ambitions, including being put forward for Sweden’s Melodifestivalen, and shares what’s next — from new music and another trip to Sweden to K-pop songwriting sessions in Seoul.
