Paul Byrne-Moroney – Out, Proud Intersex Man and host of JOY’s “The I In Us”

In this episode of For One Night Only (FONO), Pete Holmes talks with that intersex man, Paul Byrne-Moroney – (Pronouns He/Him). Paul is a host of the brand new JOY show “The I in Us” which premiered on the current grid, and is really looking forward to raising the profile of the I in our LGBTQIA+ communities.

He was born in Mitcham on the hottest day in 1996 which was January 26th or Australia and Invasion Day. Back then you could order a silver spoon for a baby born on the day from the government but Paul’s parents forgot so he wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has been involved in reconciliation for 30 years. Now he just celebrates the day as his birthday. He struggled at High school and more about that later but overcame this and was successful at getting a Health Science degree with honours in his 30s. He also has a Diploma in Travel Writing & Photography and a Certificate in Tour guiding – WOW! He has been a tour guide at Melbourne’s Chinatown museum for 12 years, and still loves travel, writing & photography but has never found away to be paid for it! He’s had many other jobs including door-to-door sales, zoo keeper, clown, wizard and puppet! (Joking) He was also robbed at gunpoint… scary!

And does he have a mixtape for you? Think Sweet, Dan Hill, Deep Purple, Moving Pictures, The Beatles, Cold Chisel, Melody Moon, Tiddas, Kesha and many, many more…

For One Night Only is a late-night show on JOY 94.9 and a podcast where people from our rainbow communities get to talk through the mixtape of their lives so far.
