Getting our game on with a Pride In Sport Special

Welcome to Game On JOY 94.9’s Home of Sport every Wednesday from 6-7pm where you’ll hear where you can get your game on! This show is all about showcasing where sport is safe, inclusive, welcoming and fun for the Rainbow community!

Tonight is a show with a difference. It’s a collaboration with the Pride In Sport team! But it’s bittersweet. Beau Newell National Program Manager with Pride In Sport who has been a fantastic supporter of the show is moving on to greener pastures. As of tomorrow! So the show is dedicated to Beau, the legacy he has left in sport over the past six and a half years with Pride In Sport, and a thank you for his incredible support over the years on the show.

We hear from Kristina Mitsikas, Senior Manager Inclusion and Innovation, UWA Sport ( University of Western Australia) about starting from scratch on an LGBTIQA+ sport inclusion journey.

Cassie Lindsey, Inclusion, Diversity & Equity Specialist, Red Consulting and Training, chats about about winning the Pride In Sport Ally of the Year award and the role of major sport to be an agent of change

And we look to the future chatting with Ben Cork currently Senior Relationship Manager with Pride In Sport.

We also have one more special guest join the show Ian Roberts, Australia’s first openly gay National Rugby League player, and now Director and Co-Founder of Qtopia-Sydney, Australia’s first LGBTIQA+ history museum. Ian shares his journey in sport and the impact Pride In Sport has had over the years for the LGBTIQA+ community.

A big thank you to our wonderful 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 on our Pride In Sport Special!

And thank you for being a part of Team Game On
