Getting our game on with Alan Lang ( Hong Kong/Spain Gay Games) and Michelle Sheppard Mama Mish (Emerald City Kickball)

Welcome to Game On! JOY 94.9’s Home of Sport every Wednesday from 8-9pm where you’ll hear where you can get your game on! This show is all about you and how you can get your game on by showcasing where sport is safe, inclusive, welcoming and fun for the Rainbow community!

On the show this week we are joined by Alan Lang, co-chair Gay Games 11 Hong Kong,  to chat to us about the incredible success of the Gay Games in Hong Kong and how you can get to the Gay Games in Valencia, Spain in 2026! The Gay Games is the world’s biggest cultural and sporting event for the LGBTQ community every four years in a unique host city across 10 days. (Starts 1minute 27seconds)

Michelle Sheppard better know in the Rainbow community as Mama Mish delights us with an incredibly fun sport that has come to Melbourne and encourages you to get involved! The team colours are yellow, green, pink and blue. The team names are Prawn Stars, I’m a brat when I’m kicking that, Queer as yolk and The Pika Blues. The sport is Emerald City Kickball, As well as being a leader in the realm of gender equity, Mama Mish is on the Melbourne Emerald Kickball Committee and the sport is going gang- busters! This is on the back of successful launches in Sydney, Perth, and Canberra. Mama Mish also shares her journey in sport as a transgender woman and belonging. (Starts 17minutes 48seconds)

And who else is getting their game on this week? Wendy was! Wendy is a die-hard North Melbourne AFLW supporter who was cheering loudly behind the goal square at the AFLW Preliminary final on Friday night at IKON Park against the Adelaide Crows. The Kangas won 5.8.38 v 5.1.31 and that was definitely with the support of one of their fabulous fans who used to play footy in the 1990s with the Darebin Falcons! (Starts 41minutes 07seconds)

A big thank you to all of our guests for their support of an inclusive and supportive sporting culture and mindset, and encouraging everyone in the Rainbow community to get their game on!

And thank you for being a part of Team Game On!
