JOY Breakfast on JOY 94.9

Episode 1: It’s Yiannis & Johnno’s First Show! Yiannis and Johnno kick off their very first Friday Breakfast Show with a proper get-to-know-you session — and there’s already plenty to unpack. It’s also Wear It Purple Day, so they’re joined by Charlie from Wear It Purple to chat about why the day matters. Along the way, Yiannis shares two ripper stories: one about his ongoing washing machine drama, and another about his surprise turn as a Good Samaritan. Johnno also launches his first ever Topic of the Week, asking the big question — is it ever okay to be loud on your phone on public transport? They wrap it all up with a rundown of what’s on in Melbourne this weekend. New episodes every Friday — subscribe so you don’t miss the next one.
