JOY Weekend Breakfast

Caroline Kingsbury dials in from the US to discuss her newest track Our House, a celebration of finding our place in the queer community. This is the first single in her forthcoming EP 'I Really Don't Care' due out this year.

We chat to London-born and Sydney-based Clio about her fabulous new banger, Golden Glow, and hear how dear the LGBTIQ+ community is to Clio's professional life.

Michael Pohl - Joy's Music Director and envoy to Eurovision this year - joins us live from Sweden where he is reporting on the 68th Eurovision Song Contest. We get excited about all things Eurovision and wish we were there with him!

Make sure you follow Joy's coverage of Eurovision!

Asbjørn joins us live from Denmark to talk about the first single from his upcoming (as yet untitled) album. We discuss the importance of his continuing work talking to teenagers in high schools about sexuality and identity freedom. And we hear how he danced this fabulous new song - He’s Dancing So Well (I’m Better) - into being.

Cory Stewart joins us live from Toronto, Canada, to discuss his latest pop single 'One More Day With You'. Likening his music to journal entries, Cory wears his heart on his sleeve with music that reflects on the importance of valuing the people in your life.

Oscar and Connor from Mister Co. join us to celebrate the release of their eight emotional single 'Blind and Betrayed' from their debut album 'On This Journey Vol 1'. Their album is set for release on May 4th, 2024.

Inspired by personal experiences and blending Alternative Rock, Blues Rock, and Country/Folk influences, the song delves into themes of heartbreak and loss, told from the perspective of a child affected by divorce.

Annie Louey and Mohammed Magdi join us in the studio to talk about their new Melbourne International Comedy Festival show, 'Too Haram to Handle'. They share the origins of the show and their other MICF recommendations, and Annie and Ando reminisce about their time in radio together.

Too Haram to Handle

Annie Louey and Mohammed Magdi are comedians dating across continents. Annie is Chinese-Australian living in Melbourne. Mohammed is Egyptian but has lived in China for 11 years. Annie is still getting used to learning about her own Chinese culture through an Arab.

They first met on Love Island, aka Hong Kong. Annie returned to Australia with a long-distance relationship, a massive medical bill and 25 minutes of new material.

Meanwhile Mo stayed back in his Bachelor pad, crying into his bubble tea and scheming about how they could see each other again. And so, this show was born.

Umbra Moon joins us to share their newly released single, 'Army of Me', and shares their love of busking in Melbourne's CBD.

Heath Thorpe joins us from his training camp from Belgium. Heath is in intense training for his Olympic qualification trials and has still managed to make some time for ballroom training and catching up with Tom Daley.

Raquel Birch, Executive Director of Sunbury Aboriginal Corporation, joins us to talk about the Sounds Gay I'm In! picnic as part of the Midsumma Regional Activation Program.

We talk about queer representation and services in the Macedon Ranges.
