In our 30th year, this podcast highlights all the action from the Pride March, Victoria’s Pride and the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Don’t miss a minute of the queer events of 2024.

Pride March had 400 groups taking over Fitzroy St, St Kilda, featuring our roving reporters and the JOY team broadcasting from the balcony of the Victorian Pride Centre with more than 60 JOY marchers. The biggest contingent ever.

Victoria’s Pride in Gertrude St Fitzroy was another warm day filled with LGBTQIA+ diversity and love.

Mardi Gras parade highlights feature interviews with our roving reporters and anthemic music was a big celebration.

Brought to you by the team at JOY! Enjoy with your friends.

Podcaster: Elliot Attard
