JOY Weekend Breakfast

Deborah Francis-White is here in Australia with The Guildy Feminist Live Podcast Tour!

Less of a podcast and more of a global phenomenon, The Guilty Feminist, hosted by Deborah Frances-White and featuring world class guests, is part comedy, part deep dive discussion and part activism. Examining our noble goals as 21st century feminists and our hypocrisies and insecurities that undermine those goals, The Guilty Feminist has had a spectacular 90-million downloads in five years.  Deborah has brought the show to Australia and New Zealand on several successful tours and is bursting with near hysteria to come back and be with her Antipodean guilty feminist crew after a year and a half of London lockdown.

This is the show that proves you don’t have to be perfect to be a force for meaningful change.  Come join The Guilty Feminist live and be part of this joyful movement.

Phil Heuzenroeder and Jarred McKee join us to talk about A Merri Interval at the Merri Creek Tavern in Northcote.

Taking place on Thursday 23rd June 2022, the show is a free showcase of original music by some of Melbourne’s best underground singer-songwriters.

The artists come from all over Victoria and are part of a songwriters’ collective, meeting each week to write, learn and nurture each other’s talents.

The collective is part of Wild At Heart, supporting artistic and career development for artists who live with disability, mental illness, neuro and gender diversity. Wild at Heart provides professional mentorships, workshops and training programs, access to recording and performance opportunities and making connections in the local music industry and music community.

TC Milan of the NY duo Crush Club joins us to talk about their new single Bohanna ft. Amazonian Rockstar, and about the excitement of having one of their tracks featured on the new US Series of 'Queer as Folk'.

David Allen speaks with Geraldine Turner, one of Australia's most renowned stars of the stage. She has written an autobiography, Turner's Turn.

A disarmingly honest memoir, Geraldine Turner’s story is a fascinating page turner.

Multi-platinum Australian singer-songwriter VASSY is popularly known for her global hits: ‘Bad’ & ‘Secrets,’ with Dance Music icons, David Guetta & Tiësto.  The Hit singles have earned VASSY multiple #1s in over 30 countries, 17 platinum certification and over 2 billion streams.  VASSY has since positioned herself as one of Dance Music’s most prominent and authentic female Artists in the world.

Adam Noviello returns to the studio to talk about their newest single, Another You, released after the success of their debut single Heretic.

While Heretic was the song for the dancefloor, Another You is the reflective 3am soundtrack when you get home and want to stay up a little later.

Adam shares some behind-the-scenes insights into the making of the lush black and white video clip, including how he came to work with extraordinary choreographer Michael Ralph.
