Jason Turner (Little Jason) – Out & Proud Intersex Person, Stage Manager & JOYlebrity!

In this episode of For One Night Only (FONO), Pete Holmes talks to Out & Proud intersex person and JOYlebrity Jason Turner (AKA Little Jason) – Pronouns he/they. Jason is the co-host of JOY’s intersex program “The I In Us” and has recently finished the JOY radio course. Jason was born in 1973 with a skin disease called Aplasia Cutis Congenital which meant that he was born without skin. He was also born with an intersex condition. He grew up on country along the east coast of Australia as an only child with his mother even though he was one of 5 kids and finally settled in Colac for his high school years. This was where he met his first girlfriend and their boyfriend but more on that later. Music & theatre have always been a part of their life and since moving to Melbourne he’s not only been a JOYlebrity but has also been involved in theatre, including nine stage productions – two on stage and 7 as stage manager. He’s also been involved in 2 album productions. He has also always loved cinema and goes off to the cinema 3 times a week. At 9 he sang in the Victorian Children’s Choir.

Jason has asked me to let you know that the names of aboriginal people who have passed away will be spoken during this podcast.

And do they have a mixtape for you? Think Scooch, Helen Reddy, Pat Benatar, Carmella, Alicia Bridges, Spice Girls, Justin Hayward, Tom Odell 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.
