Living in the 70s

It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world

History, Society & Culture

It’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world
June is Pride month, and this week on Living In the 70s we’re celebrating music made by LGBTQ artists. Not everyone was out in the 1970s, but it was the decade of androgyny, gay liberation, bra burning, glam rock and YMCA, and a time when us young sex and gender queer folk started to see ourselves reflected in music and popular culture in a variety of positive and empowering ways.
Living in the Seventies is brought to you by JOY 94.9, Australia’s only LGBTIQA+ radio station and community media organisation. Find out more at joy.org.au. And visit our  Facebook page at facebook.com/LivingInThe70s. Listeners in Australia can stream the original podcast on the JOY website, or from iTunes or any podcast provider who uses the Apple podcast feed. Listeners outside of Australia can find an adapted podcast on Spotify – search for ‘Living in the 70s podcast’.  We would love it if you could rate us and leave a review so that other people can find us.
