Thank you JOYsters for sharing your Saturday mornings with us.

Demetra shares some of her favourite queer monuments and how we can reconsider monuments of painful memories and cultural narratives.

Inspired by Mitch Browne’s stylish take on black tie at the 2026 Men’s AFL Hall of Fame, and how it ruffled some conservative feathers, Demetra takes a look at what’s the deal with dress codes.

Demetra and Annie get fruity about Radiothon. With special guests JOY CEO Paul Scott-Williams, burlesque performer Cherry Charleston, and James Goldsworthy from Globe Victoria.
