Something Else

How has the brilliant Janis Ian been overlooked for inclusion in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Yes, maybe her music doesn't exactly scream Rock & Roll, but does ABBA? Hear Janis speak her passions here, and hear the great Leonard Bernstein sing the praises of Janis Ian too!

Before the Mardi Gras Parade, there was the Protest. There was the Fight against Discrimination. There was the Battle for Recognition & Equality. In this instalment, Queer for Your Ears pays homage to the brave men and women, the original Protesters & Freedom Fighters of Sydney's LGBTQIA+ community, who went through hell one particular night in 1978, to help give us the freedoms we all hold dear today! They have become lovingly known as The 78'ers! Hear their stories!

Packed full of expert opinion as well as comedic points of view, this Queer 4 Your Ears review of the amazing book 'Sex At Dawn' by Cacilda Jetha & Christopher Ryan, looks at how homosexuality, bisexuality, multiple sex partners, and  shared parenting were all hallmarks of human cultures in pre-agriculture and pre-religious times, and indeed still are practices known to some cultures living today as well as in the communities of our closest living relative - the Bonobo. The Bonobos live in peaceful and sharing communities without war, jealousy, hierarchies or aggression. Could it be their sexual freedoms that make all this possible? What can we learn from them?

What's Queer 4 Us may not be Queer 4 You! So, in this the first Episode lovingly out together by Bibi & The Big Blue, come see where we land on the Beautiful Big LGBTQIAAP++ Spectrum, and where we can intersect and live, and love, and ... DANCE together! Coming out of our studios on Oxford Street, Paddington, QUEER 4 YOUR EARS is a Podcast that aims to celebrate community with a series of fresh funny interviews with folk who shine in the community today, as well as homages to the Queer Icons all across the world who fought to help bring us the Freedoms we enjoy today. So tune into our weekly LIVE shows via Eastside Radio 89.7FM (streaming live or later on demand from eastsidefm.org), and hear the best of those in our monthly Podcasts! Better still - BE PART OF IT!
