Macca and Josh (on the panel) are joined by ex-Olympian Kirsty Marshall and (briefly) Mayor ‘Dolly’ Doyle for this week’s flagship news and lifestyle show.

Robert (Doyle) is asked about why the Liberals are not willing to have a Concious Vote for the support of same-sex marriage.

Next, a campaign is explored that encourages people to leave their cars at home and use more public transport and bicycles, with the tagline 20 Minutes To The City.

Mark Maguan is called up to give his thoughts on Joe Walsh’s sudden death, how it affected the football community, and the subsequent awareness of domestic violence.

Dance To Beat Cancer, a charity club event, is addressed by participants Amanda and Tierny.

Macca and Kirsty begin the second hour with a little banter about Greece’s ongoing financial troubles.

Damien Leith returns to Joy to plug his new Celtic album, Songs From Ireland, as well to boast his proud Irish heritage, family life and to give a bonus live acoustic jam.

Mary Dalmau comes in from Readers Feast to share some of her favourite biographies and to discuss the slow and persistent decline of book sales.

All the way from Wimbledon, Ben Rothemberg shares his views of the local tennis tournament.

The morning’s session concludes with a lament on the decline of writing skills in the face of dependence on technology.

Aired on 4th of July, 2015.
