Rod Goodbun talks Queersland the book

Fri, 19 Sep 2025 01:45:51 +0000

An anthology of remarkable and rarely told stories of Queensland lives from queer writers spanning almost 80 years of rich and dynamic social histories that are as varied as the landscape itself. Blending fiction, memoir, poetry and images, Queersland brings to light the struggle to survive in a culture that has barely tolerated difference and at times violently suppressed it. Funny, raw, heartbreaking and brave, the stories shine a light on our potential for sex and love beyond the normativities, and ultimately for our evolution to a more compassionate and generous way of being in our world.
Editor Rod Goodbun joins Joss and Wayne on Monday breakfast to talk about the creation and heart behind this anthology of remarkable stories.

Wednseday Breakfast: JXCKY – Thirsty, Thriving & Rising from the Darkness

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 12:28:21 +0000

Independent queer pop artist JXCKY joins JOY Breakfast to launch their fierce new single Thirsty — a dark, unapologetic anthem about survival, self-reflection, and owning your story.

After breaking out with their debut EP Thriving in Perpetual Darkness (and a show-stopping JOY Radiothon performance), JXCKY opens up about almost giving up on music altogether, their struggle with mental health, and the hope that pulled them back from the edge. They talk about life as an independent artist, receiving their first ever Creative Victoria Music Works grant, and the creative freedom that comes with calling the shots.

We also dive into the bold teaser video that saw JXCKY’s chosen family reading out the most painful things ever said to them — transforming trauma into laughter and catharsis — and get the scoop on their Gaga-inspired, jailhouse-themed music video for Thirsty (yes, Telephone vibes incoming).

Dark, honest, and empowering — this is queer artistry that refuses to stay quiet.

Wednesday Breakfast: Pride Comedy – Footscray’s Funniest Queers, Hecklers & Frogguccini

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 12:23:20 +0000

JOY Breakfast goes West with Matt O’Keefe, CEO of Pride of Footscray, and comedian/MC Charlie Lewan to celebrate Pride Comedy — the monthly showcase that’s become one of Melbourne’s most loved queer comedy nights.

Matt shares how Pride of Footscray is more than a bar — it’s a performance-first, community space where comedians are paid properly (superannuation included!) and diversity isn’t a token, it’s the lineup. Charlie spills on why queer audiences are the best (and sometimes sassiest) to play for, the electric chaos of MC’ing a queer room, and why heckling from “old queens” is secretly their favourite part of the gig.

We also hear about the headliner Lou Wall returning from the UK, the joy of queer mentorship in comedy, and Charlie’s delightfully bizarre solo cabaret Frogguccini (yes, it’s about a Vatican frog).

It’s loud, it’s proud, and it’s guaranteed to have you laughing before the first punchline lands.

Thu, 21 Aug 2025 11:34:42 +0000

It’s a bumper JOY Breakfast bursting with queer anthems, travel chaos, and a few very unexpected confessions!

First up — LJ is back from their epic Outback road trip, complete with mechanical mishaps, fuel light panic, and an encounter with a possibly haunted roadhouse. We get listener tales of regional adventures gone wrong and a healthy amount of roast from Brett and Tim.

Then, the studio goes into full fangirl mode as the unstoppable G Flip joins the team. Fresh from Pride Month shows and Dodgers Pride Night in LA, G spills on their queer anthems, new album Dream Ride, and massive upcoming arena tour. They open up about love with wife Chrishell Stause — from their first pantry kiss to navigating public life together — plus the sexy chaos of the Big Ol’ Hammer video, the cheeky inspo behind Disco Cowgirl, and the heartfelt meaning of In Another Life.

Add in a boomer banger, a few guilty-pleasure pop confessions, and enough queer joy to fill the pantry twice over — and you’ve got a Wednesday morning that hits every note.
