We touched base with Starley who is home isolating in Sydney to find out how the past month had been for her, as we talk new music, being seperated from her partner, creating art in isolation and more.

The Bad Paris Remix of her song ‘Arms Around Me’ launched at the start of this month and we are loving playing it on JOY 94.9 – and can’t wait to get our arms around you all again soon.

When he was on Australia’s Got Talent, his sexuality was used narrative and gimmick, whether he was ready for it or not, but having a space like JOY that supports LGBTI artists is so important, because we understand that our communities identities aren’t just fodder for attention on mainstream media.

Greg also joined us for a special Live Lounge with a prerecorded cover of Britney Spears ‘Hit Me Baby One More Time’.

Have you heard about our Radiothon challenge?

Breakfast & Drive are running a tally of how many memberships they can get during Radiothon, and the losers have to sing Whitney Houstons ‘I will always love you’ but instead sing ‘I will always love JOY’ outside and record it … but that’s hardly a challenge for Dean, so he is upping his game!

If we get 50 memberships during MAD Wednesdays Radiothon shows Dean will. wax his butthole and film it for his humiliation and your entertainment! What better way to support JOY, humiliate Dean and beat The Murphys at the same time than to become a member today.

During this weeks show they raised $686 in donations and 16 memberships – only 34 more to go!

JOY Radiothon is here, and some of you may have noticed it’s happening earlier than usual and yes, the timing is less than ideal but… to be perfectly frank we have to go ahead with our campaign during this time if we have any hope of staying on-air and afloat during these uncertain times.

From our total income sources every year Radiothon typically makes up around 30%. We know that less than 1% of our 589,000 listeners support us financially ..and if every listener donated the price of a cup of coffee during Radiothon we’d be able to keep the station running for 2 years!

Also if you would like to donate to JOY this Radiothon, why not do it during our double donation hour from 7-9am moon Friday May First, as Patrons Gary & Geoffrey match every cent donated dollar for dollar during those times.

Sign up, renew your membership or become a subscriber between April 22- May 2 to win amazing prizes this year – find out more details here.
